4 Sets Metal Ring Firmly to Frame MTB Bike Cable Guide Brake Cable Shift Cable Derailleur Cable Base Guide Clip Fitting Line Tube Housing Durable

Needed 2 cable guides for shifters on a hybrid bike project. My angled frame tube below my handlebars where I need to attach the cables is 1 1/8" diameter. From the product description, it was clear these were for 1" tubes, but I figured if I spread the clamp a little it should work on a slightly larger tube. WRONG! I could spread the clamp, but the included screws are only 10mm (3/8") long, so they are too short to attach the guide if you are installing on anything larger then 25.4mm (1") tube. To make these work, I tried longer screws. But then I discovered the narrow design of the clamp does not grip tight enough on the bike tube to secure the cable housing so shifters work correctly. So I removed these and reconfigured 2 hose clamps I had in my shop to do the job. I returned these because they won't work for me as is. Bottom line, only use these as cable GUIDES and not for securing cables with housings to properly work shifters.

Nice quality stainless clips with stainless hardware. A far better look than zip ties on a circa 1976 Murray Monterey restoration that I just completed when these clips arrived today. Old bikes just need time, a little mechanical help and a few bucks to avoid the scrap heap. Fix it, don’t trash it.The hex nuts are 5.5mm (or 7/32 SAE) and the hex bolts take a 2.5mm hex wrench. They fit my retro ‘76 one inch bike frame tubing perfectly so as long as you get the sizing right and have the right tools for install, these little clips are a home run. Super fast delivery and low price as well. Hope that helps!

The use of "allen" style heads instead of a "phillips" head seems to be a mistake as the allen is too easy to strip out & ruin the hardware. Works but believe a better design of hardware will benefit the end user.

These work well and look good on my classic 10 speed. The diameter is 1 inch, just what I needed. Took one star off because the tiny allen screws and nuts are difficult to work with.

great transaction. exactly as advertised. would recommend and use again
