There is a hole at the bottom of the BB, but its diameter is 7-8mm. Now, is there a guide I could actually mount to such a huge hole? It is not threaded, and I am not even sure whether it should be actually used to mount a cable guide.
What I should be looking for? There are dozens of plastic under BB guides, but they all come with a small-diameter mount. Any phrases I should search amazon / ebay against?
post pictures, impossible to give good input without info.

"guide: near rear derailleur (typically bare cable runs from shifter to this "guide" and then there is short length of housing between guide (cable stop more likelly) and the derailler
