Key benefits Keeps brake and shift cables routed cleanly and reliably when using a lower-pull front derailleur. Reduces friction and wear on cables for smoother shifting and longer cable life. Simple, two-position installation lets you align cables precisely around the front derailleur for optimal performance. Durable construction requires infrequent replacement and is quick to swap when needed. What it is and how it works Cable guide made of plastic and metal that guides brakes and shift lines between the front and rear shift/brake systems when a lower-pull front derailleur is used. Two mounting positions allow accurate cable alignment around the front derailleur to prevent rubbing and improve shifting consistency. Wear-resistant design reduces friction between cable and frame or derailleur, helping maintain smoother operation over time. Materials and specifications Material: plastic + metal for a balance of lightweight and strength. Color: available in black and blue. Compatibility: fits most models; designed for use with lower-pull front derailleurs and standard brake/shift cable routing. Installation: easy to replace and install in either of two positions to suit frame and derailleur geometry. Practical use scenarios Replacing a worn or noisy cable guide on a commuter or road bike updated to a lower-pull front derailleur to restore smooth shifting. Installing during a drivetrain upgrade to ensure brake and shift cables are routed without interference or rubbing against the front derailleur. Quick field replacement on a touring or mountain bike to maintain cable performance and reduce downtime while traveling. Why you might choose this part Maintains proper cable alignment and reduces friction for more reliable shifting and braking. Robust materials and simple mounting make it a practical, low-effort maintenance item that fits most setups. Compatibility reminder Intended for use with lower-pull front derailleurs and standard brake/shift cable systems. Verify fit with your frame and derailleur layout; color options are black or blue.
