splat Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 2) Use the BBB goodie to create what looks like nice cable anchors for through-cable. However' date=' from what I can guauge here from my arm-chair, you'll still need to open up the holes in those cable guides. You'll need more than mere slots to get those bolts through. [/quote'] You dont need to modify anything. Unscrew the small bolt and thread it back through the small end of the cable guide to that the jaws sit at the other end. Its all quite small and finicky though (2.5mm key) and you can't do it up too much otherwise you pull the washer through. They dont sit very tight, and you still get flappy cables. They look slightly better than the zip tie option, but are quite a bit more expensive. Brand-X also has a pair - I saw them on CRC yesterday.http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=1010
AndreZA Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I use a system that also bolts into the cable stops but it is not adjustable. I got it from Westdene cycles but I do not know what brand it is. It looks something like this. http://www.jensonusa.com/product/br/BR407Z55__________GUID.jpg

Guest Big H Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 The topic of this thread is "Drilling cable stops......" In between the literature lessons and acid remarks by Hubbers...... ooooh!!!!!...... and the piccies from Momparra!!!!!!............ has anybody ever thought how in hell are you going to DRILL a cable stop that sits right next to the frame....... with a large chuck on the drill....... JB's option of FILING carefully makes sense though!!!!!!
Ghostface Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 But you should always go to the agents and ask them if it's fine first.
dirtrider Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Oom hendrik as jy so gat sou wou boor (wat ons reeds bepaal het is 'n kuk idee) dan sal ek voorstel jy gebruik een van die klein "air" bore wat beskikbaar is . 'N Hilti sal biekie sukkel .
splat Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Mampara Are those cable guides aimed more at hydraulic brake hose? Arent dear cables slightly thinner than that? ie they might not stay in that slot.
Pappa Bear Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Modifying your frame in ANY way = NO warranty. This goes for painting and drilling.... JAAAAA I know it will do NO damage to your frame but you will have no warranty and that is it, no ums or Ahs, No warranty. Would like to hear what Borman has to say about painting bicycles.........
splat Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Maybe I wall call the guys at Giant and ask them. jughead_dave - let us know what the guys @ Giant say about this.
Mr Mulebar Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Maybe I wall call the guys at Giant and ask them. Good Idea!!
