Hello all!
I’ve a 2000 Kona Pahoehoe that has two cable guides on the top tube. Each guide has three allocations for housing, one of which is for the rear brake. The other two allocations on each guide have stops allowing for segmented housing routing, but the one for the rear brake does not have a stop as to allow for a hydraulic hose to be routed through it. I’ll be using v-brakes and would like to segment the housing - what specific products have some of you used? The diameter of the opening is ~6mm and I’ll be using 5mm brake housing.
I’ve come across alloy housing stops from Jagwire that’d fit the bill perfectly in theory, but I don’t know what their OD is and am unsure if they would fit. None of my local shops have them in stock (or anything similar for me to try/measure), I’ve also contacted Jagwire to no avail.
I’ve also come across some Thorn stepped ferrules from SJS, but I’m located in the US resulting in the cost of shipping for a rather inexpensive item to not be sensible. Surely there’s something available stateside.
I’ve seen photos of others’ builds with similar routing, just haven’t come across something I know will certainly work.
I’ll be using Avid/Sram Flak Jacket housings, so I’m not worried about exposed cables.
Simple issue to resolve, I just don’t want to mess around with buying and returning multiple products or have a local shop do the same.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
E
