Can anyone help? At the very bottom of the frame under the bottom bracket (where you used to get your postcode stamped by the local bobby) there is a bit of plastic that helps guide the two gear cables. In trying to get a gear cable out, I ended up breaking it. Anyone know what it is called as I imagine I will only be able to source a replacement from a specialist Specialized website?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I have no idea what it's called,but I recently googled "the bit that makes a tap spray out" and came up with exactly the name of the part I needed.

Google is weirdly clever about these things.....

Mind you, so are UkC peeps

You're looking for a "bottom bracket cable guide" - you may not need a Specialized one, though.
Take a look at the pictures online, the generic Shimano is probably fine.

Surprisingly they are called a Bottom Bracket Gear Cable Guide

The part you're thinking of is a Bottom Bracket Cable Guide.

I've got a sneaking suspicion it's called a bottom bracket cable guide.
