I like it! for brake parts

Worked great! I didn't need a double. But I liked the optics better as it seems that the ends of the cable and the locking bolt are in much better places. The fit was perfect. Gives me a great opportunity to route the cables under the top tube and switch to V-brakes. Because the original frame was cantilevered.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • There are nuances

No room for drum adjuster

Used as a derailleur housing stopper on the front and rear derailleur down tube. Well made and works, but the stops are too close to the downtube to accommodate the standard size adjustment knobs. It would be easy to design. Of course, the rear derailleur has its own barrel adjuster, but for the derailleur, you need a built-in adjuster.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Doubtful

Use them instead of full top tube covers

Whenever I see someone riding a single speed or track bike and they use clamps and full top tube covers I just shake my head. Using clamps and a body on the top tube is absolutely ridiculous and pointless when you have that solution. They're cheap, they improve the look of your exercise bike or track bike and they work, need I say more?

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

A universal solution for frames without a cable stop

I'm guessing a murky tube as the frame doesn't come with a cable stop soldered there. As long as you are the right size for the frame the fit and finish is very good and this will do the job just fine. As others have said, the price is a bit high, but I don't mind because it really isn't. get lighter than that. You install it where you need the cable stop, it clamps and holds the cable housing securely where you need it. Just make sure you get the right size. If necessary, call the…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Easy serviceability

Perfect for classic cars!

I restored a 1980 Univega Sportour road bike with a Suntour rear derailleur on the down tube. The shifter bolt broke when I took it off and found the threads were already stripped. I upgraded the derailleurs anyway to get the derailleurs working so I bought this tether case stopper. I received a 28.6mm clip and it fits perfectly. What I like best is that you can move it forwards or backwards, centered or off-center. I was going to use my extra piece of shifter cable but it was a little short…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Functionality

Just a great little product

Great little bike fork that came without the shifter lugs brazed on. It easily replaced my old down tube friction shifters with an early 80's Trek. I installed old Shimano limit switches that can index with a Shimano SIS freewheel mechanism to prevent long access to the down tube switches. The Origin8 cable clamp (28.6 for my steel frame Trek down tube) fits perfectly, stays in place, looks good, is lightweight and very easy to use and perfectly aligns the cables along the down tube. There is…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Works great, not sure if it will last long

I've only had it 1 day. If it doesn't break, it's a winner. I felt the price was a BIG $7 even with free shipping. I felt like it could sell for $3 and still have free shipping. It's just a stopper. sigh. That's why I only bought 1 of these. IF they sold for less plus postage, they could be shipped in the same box and then I could buy several and pay less for each piece like I do with other sellers. I will not keep this part and I will not buy more than I absolutely have to have at this price…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Problem
