After buying my Lapierre Raid fx earlier this year (I'm a newbie at 43 take the p1ss if you wish) I have now garnished it with a Rockshock dropper seat post.
While routing the cable along the down post I have noticed the cable guides (3 of) only allow space for three cables.
They are all X shaped and looking at them from underneath, one side holds one cable and the other holds two.
Any ideas if there are ones in existence that hold 4 cables around or not?
All the ones I can find on google don't say if they are the same as the original ones and are out of stock anyway.
If they are the same as on my 2014 Zesty (looking at a stock pic via Google it looks like it) there are 3 X shaped fixings that secure via a central allen bolt. They should hold 2 cables/hoses either side of the bolt (dropper, F & R mech and rear brake). Mine only hold 3 as 1X at front now, but did hold 4. If it is a symmetrical X I am surprised that you can only fit 3. Just undo the allen bolt enough to slip another cable in and re-tighten.
These are all definitely holding just 3 cables.
There's a single curve on one side and a double curve on the other.
Loop a small cable tie to the other cables loosely to give you a movable guide for the dropper cable to run through.

Gotcha. Well the 4 cable versions are available then.

Otherwise just use a few black cable ties as suggested.
Ouch if that price is each and not a set of 3.
Cheers for the help.
