1” Threaded Headset Cable Hangers - What do you use?

[7Speed]

I am putting together a new bike and need to get hold of a nice looking, polished metal front brake cable hanger for a 1” headset. What do people use? Headset is a nice silver XTR m900, so looking for something that will be a reasonable match.

I can't offer any advice here Andy. I always try and find a suitable stem with some kind of cable routing, as I'm really not a fan of separate cable hangers

SJS Cycles sells a few different types

I just use one for 1 1/8 difference in size is really that much

Got myself sorted out. Went with a Funky Monkey after some background reading - at least until a suitable stem turns up.

What bike is it for Andy?

Your White Spider . Will keep an eye out for a 1” quill stem with a decent cable hanger or routing…would be much cleaner.

This one has the advantage of not relying on the fork/ headset thread to provide the brake leverage.

I've seen many forks and headsets killed by an integrated hanger, makes me really dislike them.
Like cheapo qrs on sloping dropouts or disc wheels

I saw your feedback on one of the earlier threads @bikeworkshop and so went with the FM.
