How to run full length cable housing to front mech on a frame without cable stops? I have an All-City Space Horse frame that has cable guides for full length housing where you use zip ties to secure the housing. But there are no traditional cable stops. The housing runs from the shifter all the way to the derailleur, uninterrupted. On the rear this is no problem since rear derailleurs have a cable stop built right into it. On the front derailleur (bottom pull) however I need to cut the housing somewhere in order to clamp the exposed cable to the derailleur. What is the recommended method to install full length cable housing on such a frame?

I believe the part you require is shown here: <

It is available from all Surly/All-City/Problem-Solvers dealers.

Single-sided, bottom bracket mounted cable guide, with integrated cable housing stop.

I used one of these to install a front derialleur on a Velo Orange Neutrino where it was also necessary to drill the bottom bracket shell and tap the threads. It's easy to do this but I think your bike will already be drilled.

You could also use a Shimano Side Swing front derailleur that takes its pull fron the front (which makes more sense than you'd think) as long as your chainrings are small enough.
