Under BB guide thread size?
I bought an under BB cable guide from Nova Cycles, but have no idea what size tap to use for the bolt. Any ideas?

Thanks again for the help. I got a Park TAP-8 and used a 5/32" bit to drill the hole. Was easy as cake and only took a few minutes. This may be the only EighthInch Scrambler with a front derailer cable guide.

What are you doing to mount a rear derailleur?

It's going to be a dinglespeed, so I'm using a Paul Melvin tensioner instead of a rear derailer. I found a DMR chain tug with built-in hanger for it to mount to.
