Twin Top Tube Cable Clips
« on: July 04, 2011, 08:59 AM »
BITD I used to use black electrical tape to hold my rear cable in place on my DP Freestyler.....

That obviously looks a bit crap on a new build so I was wondering if anyone had found
a nice looking way of holding it in place without running a pad....?

Looking at the metal DC ones they appear to only go down to a 1"....

 :)

Velcro works for me.  You can get it to match your colour scheme :daumenhoch:

Yes these are the best, but very rare & hard to find  8)

Velcro straps are the next best thing  :)

Where do you get your coloured from Bretty? The ones I rob from work only come in black, selfish bastards.
