cable clip recommendations
i am looking to get some cable clips for my rear brake ( you know...those things that hold the housing cleanly along the top tube).
My question is....where do you get them? I dont know if i want metal ones or i know diacompe used to make some great plastic ones that would push together and lock. My LBS has the stupid c clip ones that just slide all over and fall off. Those are junk. I want somthing that goes around the entire tube. Im thinking the metal ones would be best however i dont want to scratch the paint all to heck either.
I cant seem to find any of hte old diacompe ones anywhere.

I just bought a set of metal cable clamps with screws on Ebay, they're pretty common and not expensive.
