Seen this used as a top tube cable stop for running v's (not tried it myself)

Not the prettiest but saves altering the frame

Good call mate. tad priey @ £25 :shock: .... i may have to resort to one :cry: hope not cause this is a budget build ... want to keep it under the value of the bike if i can.

brother is fairly confident we can braze a cable stop to the frame .... we'll see

Edit: alternative ? US based shop ive emailed them for price inc shipping....

Could anyone confirm top tube diameter 1991 cindercone ?

Ta,

Wow, your right, 25GPB is a lot to dish out (I hadn't noticed the price :shock: )

Actually I prefer the alternatives you've found, bit more minimalist compared to the chunky Problem Solver (not to mention a much more reasonable price)

The Origin8 is nice as well

Top tube on mine measures 29mm diam.

Cheers mate. I guess that's close enough for the 28.6 split clamp to fit.

Have ordered the origin 8 from ... Tesco would you believe @ £5.95 ... Every little helps

As you say it's a little more stealth.. Just unsure of the orientation of the actual cable entry.

Have also ordered the double clamp from sjs cycles.

I'll see which works best and return the unwanted one.

26.4, sounds right for an early Kona.
My 1990 Lava Dome is the same.
