Getting a X-Fusion Milo with remote for an Orange Five (09) 0 any tips - I'm guessing unlike other kits this doesn't come with cable clips - thinking a double cable tie or stick on guides - anything else?

I used these NC-17 Carble Guides on a Stumpjumper FSR and have worked well, allow a bit of slide through is well. Also easy to remove / adjust etc.

Not quite as slick as the ones at CRC, but miles nicer than plain old cable ties:

That's just a little bit of 5mm tubing (80p/metre from B&Q) that the cable tie loops through to grab the cable/hose. Very secure.

I have one of these on the seatpost mast:

Lets the cable slide through when the post moves down, but stops the loop of cable sticking out and catching on my legs!
