Rattling Fork Synapse Ultegra Disc
I bought a Cannondale Synpase Ultegra Disc and I can't get rid of a rattle from disc brake cable, internally routed in the front fork. Anyone else had this problem? My bike shop are suggesting pumping in some grease. Anyone have a better solution?
Cheers

With cables routed inside frames, the trick is to fit small zip ties in a spiral along the cable. They act as spacers to stop it touching the tube. Not sure if you'd have enough access to the inside of a fork leg though....
^im pretty sure he/she means the cable outer moving inside the fork legs.
How are you so sure it is the cable that's rattling?
I thought disc brake cable are housed in some sort of housing?
Are you definitely sure that its not the headset knocking?
If so the best way to prevent the rattle is little rubber o rings around the cable housing (or hydraulic hose).
This will mean you will have to remove the complete housing and cable tho.
