quick query about cable and hose guides please...

[dyson]

Ok I need some advice.

My Kona Pahoehoe has both canti and disc mounts but for now I want to run vees.

But the guide on the top tube is for a hose so I need a sleeve to fit the cable in for the v brake.

Is this what I need? Help much appreciated

You could always just run full length outers...

Look korrect, hose guides tend to be a bit over 5 mm to include the clip, cable brake outer is 5 mm so those adapters are pretty thin.

Despite the advantage of full runs, i dont like them.

Re:

Those cable stopper things look pretty neat actually, I was going to say "just run a full length brake outer cable from lever to brake" as that's what I'd normally do, but it might be worth giving those stoppers a go if you ask me.

Re:

Full length cable had not crossed my mind, so that is a definite option.

I found some of those guides for pennies on ebay so nothing lost trying them. They also do ones that are split too but only on sale in the Usa.

Thanks for the help chaps

Full length outers, Halfrauds sell the noodles.
