What is this part called?
 
CABLE STOP?, CLAMP-ON CABLE STOP?, CABLE GUIDE?, GEAR CABLE STOP?, DERAILLEUR CABLE GUIDE?, CHAINSTAY FITTING?

I believe its called a CABLE STOP but not sure - anyone know?... and where can I buy it? Need a few since my vintage frames don't have brazed-on "stops".

Try the C&V forum. If anyone knows where to get these things, they should.

Why run the cable with stops at all? Just run full housing and use zip ties (or cable/housing guides).

One should have a stop, with ferrules, to keep the derailleur functioning smoothly. The 'stops' are out there. Just needs to keep looking...

I run several derailleurs without benefit of stops, work fine, stops are not necessary.

Here's a catalog item for a 5/8" frame tube cable stop. Looks like it would work on a chainstay.

Of course there are several available for downtubes.

Found some in the UK

Here we are:

Thanks, Al - I just clarified the list you posted.

Thanks for the SJS-link. Very good outfit, but the OP is in Idaho. The oldbicyclejunk one is in Rhode Island. The SJS would kill him on postage.

Looks like a pretty good shop. If I want a part bad enough the postage is not going to get in my way.
Cheers,

SJS? Yes it is - and very quick, too. I've found a few items there I needed. And the USA was bereft of such. They make ordering from the USA very simple.

So how come you couldn't find the cable stop? :)

Yeah, I usually head for Bike Tools Etc. too. They've done right by me. They're in the same town as Third Hand/Loose Screws, but I couldn't find a clamp-on derailleur cable stop in their catalog:

Here are some chain stay cable stops that I found. Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks for the help. Looks like the name varies slightly yet your links have put me on track to getting the part. Thanks again.

Here's some more. US$7.00 + shipping for the Campagnolo #636 chain stay cable stop clamp.

I can vouch for oldbicyclejunk.com. Ordered from them a few times, shipped fast and cheap. I am in Massachusetts though, so RI is pretty close.

Chop61 01-23-10 05:29 PM

Thanks so very much for the oldbicyclejunk.com link. As if I didn't spend enough time online looking for stuff. Oh look, they have Flickstands...they sell for big money on ebay!
