Title: Get rid of those ugly cable ties and bits of velcro. PICS ADDED
Post by: Gary72 on February 11, 2014, 07:51 PM: 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.

Post by: oldtired on February 15, 2014, 02:39 PM: 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:
