Securing disc brake hoes to top tube

flynn160603 · Dec 22, 2009

Hello folks, i'm hunting down bits for my bike build and i've hit a problem the frame I have does not have any fittings on it to hold the disc hose to the frame, I guess I could use cable ties (a bit un sightly) or get someone to weld something on before I get it powder coated.

But does anyone make anything that would hold the hose to the frame without looking naff ?? any help would be appreciated.

I've used those, and they do the trick just fine. Also handy on the seat stay too.

Actually, if the old cable brake guide is on the top tube, you can get this set that also comes with a couple of hose clamps that screw into the existing guides. They work pretty well too - using them on my Hardrock.

I use a couple of these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=19159

one is keeps the hose tidy on the top of the forks on my Pace RC500, the other is now at home looking after the hose to the rear brake on my klein adept.

Easy to fit and look alright. although I do make sure the Mparts logo is as hidden as possible
