Cable donuts

OK, I know it's not massively important, but it's really annoying when they all bunch up at one end of the top tube and you've got a noisy cable. Anyone have any solutions? Are there better brands etc? Cheers,

A little dab of superglue will keep them in place but not fix them permanently. The cable needs to be clean before doing this. Let us know how you get on. Alternatively, get 3,000 of them and there's no room for them to move around.

I was having cable slap issues with my Pomp and instead or use donuts I wrapped the toptube with innertube to stop the slap and also protect against locking scratches and the lever hitting the toptube. I just used a single layer so it sits under the cable alright.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
