Cable stop for full length housing

Companies are going to full length housing and relying on the cable stop built into Shimano's front ders. Trek Domane and Emonda are two examples. However, I'm a Sram mechanical kind of guy. Sram front ders don't have a built in cable stop. Any devices or strategies to get a Sram front der to work with full length cable housing? Thanks.

Recently I was able to cable my All City by running housing all the way up to the stop on the FD. Alternatively, you can buy one of these...

Try problems solvers. They make a clamp that will go around your seat tube with a cable stop on it.

Gee, yet another case of something old being new again. Bike boom bikes often had full length cable housings and that's part of what made them look or perceived to be cheap bikes.

Cheers
