Bottom Bracket Cable Guide for Specialized Allez Elite A1
Hello, Can anyone tell me what type of cable guide I need to fix under
the BB shell on a Specialized Allez Elite A1 frame I'm building up? There is just one screw hole in the BB shell, where the only cable guide pics I could find (of a Shimano SM-SP17-M) seem to take 2 screws. Any help would be appreciated. thanks, Alan |

I assumed the presence of the second hole was to give you an option to pick the best position (in case a large weld is in the way, etc.). As a matter of fact, now that I think if it, they've only ever come packaged with one screw as well. |

That's reassuring, you've saved me from searching needlessly for a
one-hole cable guide. I'll get one of the Shimano ones & see how it fits, thanks again, alan wrote: al77 wrote: Hello, Can anyone tell me what type of cable guide I need to fix under the BB shell on a Specialized Allez Elite A1 frame I'm building up?

Have a bike shop tap it to the proper size, and also have them drill a drain hole in the BB shell, to let out water. WHY most frame builders don't do this is beyond me. al77 wrote: Thanks but I ordered a Shaimno one this morning, are there any differences between the Shimano & Campag cable guides?

Well I experiemented & found the right size screw - an M5 screw from a
spare downtube barrel adjuster that i had - it fits perfectly. thanks, Alan Qui si parla Campagnolo wrote: al77 wrote: The shimano one loos like it will fit fine, all I have to do is find the right size screw now...
