These replace old plastic cable guides that are commonly missing on old Cannondales. By gluing the posts on the inside of the holes you don't run the risk of ripping the paint from the frame like you do if you just glue on old guides that are missing their posts. My suggestion is to turn the frame upside down and put a generous drop of glue inside each of the holes - then insert the cable guides and allow the glue to dry with the frame upside down so that the glue stays puddled around the cable guide's posts. If you have bits of plastic from the old cable guides rattling around the top tube like my friend did, drip a good puddle of glue into the top tube and shake it around until the bits get stuck in the glue.

Here's a picture of the stainless steel and plastic versions side by side.

This is exciting technology and I am glad this has been attempted. Unfortunately, the tabs on these are slightly too thick and slightly to off-set to properly fit into the frame (at least on my 1990's T1000). Others have complained that the plastic cable guides are not strong enough and will snap. I got some of those too and they are pretty flimsy. Either way, I'm going to attempt to file down the stainless steel one and see how it works out. If it's good enough, I'm going to order a few more and do the same. Thanks
