Anyone know where I can get one of these?

  • I am going to be rebuilding my bike up soon with some new components and want to run as full an outer cable to the front mech as possible. I have been looking online for a cable guide that incorporates an outer cable stop. The closest I have got to finding what I am after is one fitted to new Mason bikes. Does anyone know of anything like this that is available to buy ?

    This one was custom made by mason with a 3d printer but would be exactly the sort of thing I am after, however they do not sell them...

  • Seems like something your local bike shop might have in stock. Have you checked with them?

  • Yeah, the only ones I have seen available to buy are ones just for the inner cable.

  • You could run the cable right round the bottom bracket and stop the cable on your seat tube, using something like this ...

  • Ah nice, I haven't thought about doing it that way. Looks to be my easiest solution and means I wouldn't need to drill and tap the BB shell. Only downside that I can see is that on my setup it would leave the outer cable facing upwards to contain water.

  • True, but you could use a stainless steel inner cable, plastic ferrule on that end and use a little silicone grease to help prevent water ingress.

  • Cheers Phil. Big help for me.

  • No probs.
