Downtube cable stops?
Since Ive decided to not run downtube shifters, Im on the hunt for cable stops for my downtube.
Are the ones that campy makes designed for this purpose.
Im new to this idea and not sure what will work.
Thanks

I'm about to do the same thing on the Marinoni - it seems that these do not come with the little bolts. Any sources for these? I know I could hunt around for some stainless bolts that meet the correct spec, but one would think the stops would include matching bolts.......
I recall getting some Problem Solvers shifter boss covers, which did not include the bolts. This created more of a problem than it "solved"

Try asking your friendliest LBS if they have some of these in their spare parts bin---they may let you have them for a few bucks. Make sure they give you a left and a right and the correct boss profile, though.

Many LBS's have upgraded shifters, etc, for customers, without swapping out the cable stops.
They may have a small ziploc bag lying around with a pair of those in it, including bolts.
Many times, the bag is green. I don't know why.
I picked up two sets that way. Though I know the LBS paid nothing for them,
I didn't blink and forked over the $10 for each set.
Not my business how they got 'em, so I paid and was glad of it.
If the shop had said $20, then I'd have gone elsewhere.
