There has been an interesting, and for me an immediately relevant discussion on BOB. I have been monitoring the responses and would like to get the views of CR listers on the same subject (I know some of you also follow the BOB list - but here goes).

The discussion was about protecting the derailleur cables as well as the paintwork as the cables pass under the BB. I am just about to rewire my TI and have always used left over pieces of brake housing cut to the right length - about 3" in order to protect the cables from dirt and grime as well as to protect the paintwork. I have braze-on guides under the BB which are recessed on one side to receive some form of cable housing. I have never had any real problems, however, I was intrigued by some of the suggestions on BOB. To leave uncovered or not? To use electronic shrink to fit wire covers ... etc.

What solutions have worked for CR listers? What is the best solution for cutting down on friction?
