Top tube cable guide/stop

@Stanflashm4n what did you do in the end? My current project bike has almost identical cable noodle things

I used one of these on an old Kona frame to allow use of V-brakes, since used it on an old Hardrock frame too.

Nice one, cheers @jimo746. They look fairly decent. Did you keep the noodle or grind it off? I don't like the idea of it still stuck to the frame if it's empty

I left the cable noodle there, I guessed I'd cause more harm than good by trying to remove them.

Saw this today and thought it was actually quite a neat solution + there's enough guide left if you want to go back to center pull brakes:

Yes, needs a steady hand!
