  1. I'm in need of a 31.8 clamp-on cable stop or an inexpensive
    method to add a cable stop to a frame. Ideas, suggestions
    and flames much appreciated.

    Dear Mo,

    With shipping, about $15 from BikeToolsEtc for 1-1/4" in
    silver or black. Hope that's inexpensive enough.

    or

    They sell 1-1/8, 1-1/4, and 1-3/8 models. Anyone who needs
    huge 1.5" cable stops can try www.loosescrews.com, but
    they're about $27 with shipping.

    QBP/Problem Solvers sells the "Backstop" that does the
    job. (Actually, in the online catalog it seems to be
    "Backsto p".)

    I'm shocked to see that they're list priced at almost $30
    per when my LBS had 'em for half that. Don't know if that
    falls into the "inexpensive method" category.

    The tip I got when I bought the one I'm using was that the
    tiny little screw strips or breaks very easily. Read the
    instructions, and handle with care.
