A couple of years ago a list member (Collin A?) brought these to my attention:
https://www.performancebike.com/shimano-sd50-etube-di2-wire-cover-white-ismewc2w/p333253?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_id=17393956213&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAi_G5BhDXARIsAN5SX7oXbYoYz_LGctG_BbfQInEVnLLMFkosjKedRIf8byU7TGFQ2dcQGTEaAnb7EALw_wcB They're self-adhesive wire guides that Shimano sells for routing Di2 electronic shifting wires on bikes that don't have internal routing for them. I recently used a set to route the wire for my taillight along the underside of my top tube, next to the brake cable, on my Surly Long Haul Trucker. I got the black ones and since the LHT frame is black, I'm happy with how they pretty much disappear. They may be more conspicuous depending on the color of your frame, but even if they're noticeable I do think they help things look neat and tidy. -Jeremy Till Sacramento, CA On Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 10:06:29 AM UTC-8 Jkarlin wrote: > Thanks, everyone!
