Abstract
A method of supporting a hose on a cable stopper of a bicycle involves providing a cable harness assembly including a hose hanger and a stopper bushing; inserting the stopper bushing within an inner space of the cable stopper; radially expanding the stopper bushing within the inner space of the cable stopper such that the stopper bushing at least partially contacts an interior wall of the cable stopper to couple the hose hanger to the cable stopper; and supporting the hose on a cable portion of the hose hanger. The hose hanger includes a body portion and the cable portion that is sized and configured to support the hose. The stopper bushing has an unexpanded outer width that is sized and configured to be received within the inner space of the cable stopper.
