Whats it called

[Taywood]

On my old Kona mtb theres a sloping top tube and a circa 3in piece of seat tube into which the
saddle stem fits. On that seat tube is a 'clip thing' thru which runs the rear brake cable round the
back of the tube so its centred over the canti.

Whats the trade name for the clip thing?

Mine's worn, its not centreing and is held together with Araldite. I need to replace it but cant
identify the part in online catalogues. Mike

"Cable guide", I think - but there are lots of different types.
