Cable guide for frame Clarks CLA-CCTGCT-3PB — cable mounting bracket for bicycle frame

Frame cable guide Clarks CLA-CCTGCT-3PB is a cable mounting bracket designed to secure control cables and housings to a bicycle frame. It creates a stable routing point for brake or gear cables, reducing movement at the frame interface and minimising wear on the cable housing. The part is intended for retrofitting or replacing worn cable guides and is suitable for maintenance and assembly tasks where a reliable fixed cable attachment is needed.

Advantages

The cable guide provides a firm and consistent cable route that helps maintain precise shifting and braking by preventing lateral movement of the housing. Its compact form factor allows installation on a variety of frame tubes without interfering with other components. The bracket supports long-term cable alignment, which can extend the service life of housings and inner cables while simplifying routine adjustments during maintenance.

Suitable for

• Securing brake cable housings to bicycle frames
• Securing gear/shifter cable housings to bicycle frames
• Retrofit projects to replace worn or missing cable guides
• Bicycle assembly and regular maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Function: frame-mounted cable routing bracket for control cables
• Compatibility: designed for external cable housings on standard frame tubes
• Material: durable metal or metal-alloy construction for secure clamping
• Mounting type: outer-frame attachment using a clamp or screw interface
• Size and profile: compact profile to minimise interference with adjacent components

How to use

Position the cable guide on the desired section of the frame tube where a fixed routing point is required. Ensure the guide aligns with the intended cable path for either brake or gear housings. Attach the bracket to the frame using the provided clamp or fastener and tighten to a torque appropriate for the frame material, taking care not to overtighten. Route the cable housing through the guide, check for smooth movement and correct alignment, then perform necessary adjustments to cable tension and housing length before final verification of braking and shifting performance.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the cable guide periodically for corrosion, loosening, or wear. When replacing housings or inner cables, check that the guide remains securely fastened and that the housing seats correctly to avoid accelerated wear. For frames with non-standard tube shapes or proprietary mounting interfaces, verify fit before installation; use appropriate hardware or adapters if required.
