Shift/Brake Cable Stop (frame-mounted) by aiber

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is a frame-mounted cable stop, for both shift & brake lines. Note this is NOT the same as the cable guide Thing I posted separately. Here, the housing STOPS, as it is a cable STOP.
Safety warning since it has to do with your brake line.
Especially for your brake line, you cannot let this cable stop move around or else your brake quality will vary over time as it slips under the zip tie. See the suggestion below. Otherwise, as the housing moves around, the effective cable tension seen at the derailleur/brake changes & it will give inconsistent, possibly unsafe results.
Requires a small zip tie.
I recommend applying some hot glue to the area that sits on your frame, letting it cool off a little bit, then pressing it on your frame to get the curvature. This will leave a little area with a lot of friction to keep it from sliding around even with the zip tie. The dried glue is easily removed entirely & reapplied.
