    Hi folks looking for some help with the plactic gizmo that holds the cables underneath the botton bracket . There is a whole there for it but there doesn't seem to be any threads any ideas . I'll try and get a picture up thanks.

    you need either a self tapping screw, or you need to tap out threads for the screw to go into, fairly obvious really :confused:
    as a last resort you could try using a steel screw and making threads with it in the soft alumumium tubing your bike is likely to be made from.

    That's your bottom bracket cable guide. No need to screw it on, I put one onto my steel commuter bike about 9 years ago with a small blob of glue, hasn't moved since. Some websites advise to simply use double sided tape. There's no stress on it and the cables keep it in place.
