Ok so what are the brkaeline holder doodad inserts (nice term huh) called. They are used for when brake lines dont fit through regular frame cable guides. They go in the guide and hold a cable in place, instead of ugly ass zip ties.

Help! Does BTI have them? QBP?

Zedro, SGD etc..anyone know who has these locally?

Your making me soooo not want to put the GOODRIDGE® lines on my bike. Seems like you've had one headache after another.

Are you looking for those sticky (doublesided) ones?

BTI has the adjustable ones, for larger size lines, Hope makes some. Just picked some up for my Army and they work great. Actually I still have an extra pair of Hopes, Jagwire, Problem slovers sitting around.

You mean these little boogers.

Sweet, thanks Brian. I am gonna go on a shop rampage tomorrow and try to find about 3 dozen of these for our team bikes. I need the adjustable ones for larger lines. Any idea on price?


Also to the above poster - These are not for Goodridge lines, and I have never had any issues with them so I don't know what you are going on about.

 

[Transcend]

holy crap. Jenson wants $9 EACH????

And that is the kind I want, or adjustable. I DO NOT want those sticky jagwire things.

Sorry I got you confused with Acadian, who is having a hell of a time with his Hopes since putting goodridge lins on.

So far JensonUSA is about the only place that has the ones you are looking for.

I sincerly doubt that that problem is due to the lines. I think it is due to acadian being inept at bleeding Hopes... .

Bleeding brakes is no fun, and each model has a trick to get it to work right. Just takes time to get used to, I can do hayes now in about 10 mins max.

Found some for $7.95

JensonUSA will probably match that price

My bike is hella metrosexual.

Shimano makes a cheaper plastic alternative:

Should be ~$6/pair

 

[Curb Hucker]

Well thats what you get when you dont buy a great bike like a Karpiel, i dont have to use any adapters

J/K actually the ones from jenson work quite wll, i had em on my RFX

No zipties will be touching these bikes this year. That is my solemn promise to my bikes!

 

[zedro]

do it do it do it do it....

the little piece of fuel tubing keeps the zip from sliding out of the nobule. If you use the mini-zips, you wont be able to notice them from a foot or two back....

this is my best zip-tie work yet!

 

[Transcend]

Interesting...very interesting...

are those mini or full size zip ties?
