I need a bit of advice, I have an '05 Sitnky and want to know if there is a better way of attaching the brake lines other than zip-ties around the top tube. I have a set of Goodridge Lines that I want to put on but the zip-ties just look bad. Any Suggestions?

FEAR ME ^
most bike rames have a loop to put zip ties through, it looks liek that doesnt. I would just not worry about it. I don know really whar u could do. Look at how the stock cables are attached and do them that way.

Use a stick on cable guide, Aztec makes them as does Jagwire, etc. They also come with many bikes/forks. I used one on my Stinky on the toptube between the front and rear welded cable guides.

Thanks for all the input.

I have tried the stick on ones on forks before, with no luck they always seemed to fall of at in-oportune moments (one good thing about the Fox 40 it has a hose guide on it) But it is certainly worth a try. If not I may and try to find some more fashionable zip-ties. The roto-zipping would make me a little nervous to do, I would hate to go to far below the weld and damage the integrity of the frame.
