Was floating around on the interweb (Watching too much Fast & Loud) and came across this little gem.
Looks a lot better than a cable tie or velcro wrap. All I need to do is drill and tap a hole in my frame now.
Also supporting fellow riders :daumenhoch:

Nice little component that. However, it strikes me that you could just use a regular cable guide, just mounted at 90 degrees?  Obviously won't look as trick but would do the job.

good idea  :daumenhoch: like the t's too,   

you can use a giro tab on the top of the down tube  or under the top tube just behind the headtube with a slight angle depending which side you run the cable , dead easy to drill n tap the tube 4mm (may void your warranty ;D)  been going to do mine but velcro is easier  :D  tbh i don't know why companies don't bung one on the frame near the headtube , wouldn't be in the way if you ran a giro and would save nicking the laggy out yer wangers to tie the cable up if you run a single   ;D  course they'd be useless on a brakeless frame  :LolLolLolLol:

remember the local bmx shop had some reusable zip ties would have been about 83ish , never seen a zip tie before, different colours but they were £1 each , the general opinion was leccy tape is £0.12p a roll from franks shop at the end of the road  :LolLolLolLol:
