Bottom Bracket Cable guides

[joebe]

Well Doris is nearly ready following her frame failure earlier in the year, however i find the the replacement frame has a different set up regarding the chain ring Derailleur cable route. Before it was a simple lug at the base of the down tube and one just below the Derailleur on the seat tube. Now it's like this:

I.e. no lugs, just some where to put a cable guide (my old single cable one is in the picture) and a hole in front of the chain stays.

I'm thinking a new cable guide that has 2 slots in it (one for the front and one for the rear cables) plus a thin sleave running from the cable guide through the hole up to the front Derailleur mech.

Any thoughts as to why this won't work or a better way of doing it?.

I used one of these on my Vitus, which has a similar setup by the look of it. It slipped around a bit at first, but a dab of araldite sorted that.

Cheers Swee'pea, but I've got the twin cable guide, the concern I have is how best to run the cable through the hole without having cable on frame contact, as the hole is quite far back from the cable guide.

Did you have that issue on your vitus

Ah, yes...I see your point. Sorry, didn't look closely enough last night. Hmmm. No, I don't have that issue - the hole is much closer to the BB, so the cable basically comes off the end of the guide, then goes pretty much straight thru' t'ole. That's a tricky one. Sorry, can't think of any intelligent suggestions, other than maybe your LBS might have an idea? I must say, it seems a slightly odd place to put the hole...
