It looks terrible but it's the best solution I could come up with for now.
I have the same setup on the downtube where the stem shifters cables come together toward the top and exactly where I want to put the dt shifters.
There were little plastic cable standoffs that were larger than the cable housing and fit right into those clamps you are dealing with. That's why it appears they are big.....they werent intended (stupidly enough) for the cable to go into.
Question, if you will.....on the downtube where your shifters are, where did the original downtube cable clamps go? I'm in a quandry about what to do with them when I install these dt shifters. Thanx.
