anyone know of a good way to secure the rear brake cable on the down tube without the risk of scratching the fook out of it?   :daumenhoch:

That's what I use Rob, works a treat, or you could put a bit of rubber tubing around that area then a cable tie, both work fine :)

Rob I've got some RED velcro ties in my tool box. They came out of B&Q. Just put a sticker underneath it.
Will pop one in the post if you want it :daumenhoch:
