down tube cable stops installation.

[curzons246]

Ive got some campagnolo down tube cable stops to fit. One has a knurled nut and the other a thumb lever. Which is for the front derailleur and which for the rear derailleur please.

As far as I am aware the convention is that the cable is guided on the bottom, that would put the knurled knob on the left as you sit on the bike.

That's from memory though which is flakey at the best of times lol

I'll pop in the garage and look at my 91 Moser

Just been to the garage for peace of mind, piddling down here in Cumbria. My Moser has the lever stop on the right as you sit on the bike. Hopefully the guy who scewed them on knew what he was doing

Maybe googling a few pics would confirm

Do you mean the ones that go on the gear lever bosses, to be used with STI/ergo levers?

If so then I think yours are actually shimano cable stops, as far as I know campag only ever did them with knurled barrel adjusters, not the lever.

Assuming they are shimano, then the lever one goes on the right, for use with the rear derailleur. The cable should always pass closer to the underside of the downtube

Just checked, mine with the lever on the right (rear) look like the pics of Shimano ones on the net. I assumed that an Italian frame would have campag kit screwed to it lol

Well spotted Foz ....

Hi foz these are the ones http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221770882908? ... EBIDX%3AIT

Yep, those are shimano, not campagnolo. Another seller who subscribes to the "campagnolo c record era" mantra, for stuff that is neither campagnolo, c record, or even from the same era :facepalm: there's no way you need to pay 14 quid plus expensive postage either! that's way too expensive
