I've converted the Amazon to hydraulic brakes, modifying the cable guides on the top tube to take the hydro hose. What I'm now after is a couple of plastic "wedges" to keep it in place.

Origin 8 make some called "Hydraulic Pass Thru Inserts" and they look like this...

I'm guessing there are other brands too.

Now - does anyone have a couple, or know where I can get them without paying £37 postage from the US??

TIA

Type bike frame buckle tube into ebay and China will ship you a handful for £2 Inc postage .they take a couple of weeks and are actually quite good .
Jagwire used to make some but not sure if they still do
Hope that helps
Sorry for lack of link

Lol I'm sure they'll come in handy one day .I always think of having a clear out and then bang something 10 years old or so obscure comes in handy .

Knock them out on the classified for a quid a pair plus postage.

My 5% to the usual place, ta.
