Hi all,

Would it be trivial to reposition some top tube cable stops by stripping the paint, taking an OA flame to the stops, then removing them and reattaching them to run cable along the top of the tube instead of the along the bottom? It's a CrMo frame but fairly modern (welded tubes), so I'm worried the cable stops might also be welded. If they are welded, I'm assuming I can't heat them up and "pluck" them off and I'll have to instead use a cut off wheel and new cable stops?

Thanks for any help.
