I need a double curved clamp-on cable guide that will fit a vintage bike with a standard size downtube. This cable guide will be at the bottom brake. Here's a link to something like I'm looking for but I sure don't want to pay that price.

Anyone seen something similar for a LOT less?


a real Campagnolo 626A is C$24 ( up to C$160 gold plated!)

Thanks Andrew.

I think I might try drilling out a the cable housing side (non drive) side on an extra Shimano one I have here and insert a metal noodle from a V-brake and see if that works. It's a lot cheaper than $40+ dollars for a guide and its shipping.

Cheers
