    Default Cable Stop Inserts Needed

    I have a salsa frame that has guides on the top tube for hydraulic hose. I am running cable actuated brakes. I believe there are inserts available from Salsa to make them smaller. Anyone happen to have two of them around their shop I could pick up?
    I have three warm Summer Shandys in my car I will trade for them!

    They're universal, I have them on my Voodoo. We should have some laying around the shop. I will look in the morning.

    No one has these in their basement? I really want to put my bike back together! I should have thought this through before cutting the housing that was in place(and yes working) but it was rubbing on the paint.

    if all you are looking for is ferrules at the cable stops, then a bike shop will likely sell you a handful for a few bucks...Bike One hooked me up with a shifter cable, housing, and a handful of ferrules for not much more or less than a regular run-of-the-mill yellow beer 6-pack.

    check with your favorite LBS. ;-)

    I have checked with all of them, even ones that are not my favorite! It is a special piece that turns the hydraulic hose guide into a cable stop. It makes it smaller and creates a stop for the ferrules you mention above to have something to pull against.

    ah...I misunderstood what you were after!
