Rattling internal brake cable

[counterofbeans]

Hi all

I have a Cinelli Supercorsa which has an annoying intermittent rattle which I'm 90% sure is coming from the rear brake cable which is routed internally through the top tube

Has anyone else suffered the same problem, if so how did you fix it?

Or any competent mechanics have any ideas?

Many thanks

take the cable out, then attach cable ties to it, feed it back in and when the tails of the ties bounce back out they will keep it from moving in the tube.

good solution. I have the same issue on my bike. I will give that a go.

I got some pipe insulation foam and cut a bit and fed it down the top tube. Solved the problem and never had a rattle since in the 2 years I've had the bike
