Abstract
A cable guide for affixing a cable or the like to a tube of a bicycle frame comprises a body including at least one base portion adapted to seat on the frame member and having at least one hole, a ferrule portion extending up from the base portion and adapted to receive the cable, and a split sleeve portion extending down from the base portion in alignment with the hole and adapted to extend through a hole in the frame tube. A mandrel is received through the hole in the base portion, extends through the split sleeve and expands the legs of the sleeve outwardly into tight engagement with the wall of the hole in the tube and expands the ends of the sleeve outwardly within the tube, whereby the expanded and extended split sleeve retains the guide on the frame tube.
