Not sure what I’m lookin for here exactly but need some sort of option to hold the front brake cable. Would it be best to just swap to v brakes?

I have that same cable tie I got it a few days ago at harbor freight
You don’t have a lot of room in your headset between the locknut and the adjustable race for a cable hanger mounted on a spacer. Especially with your short stem, slammed down.
A fork mounted cable hanger might be a better option

Or get v brakes
[This one’s ](https://crustbikes.com/products/shovel-research-fork-mounted-brake-cable-hanger)excessively expensive, but Origin8 makes a version as well
I don’t know about any cable hanger, but you can probably bodge a solution from a P-clamp.
Also, shorten those cables.
V brake parts are cheap and easy. I would just make the swap
Just some tips. Never clamp an aluminum frame by any of the tubes, especially the top tube. It is the weakest one. Use the seatpost. Also, please check that frame over real good for cracks, especially stress fractures in the seat stays.
Duck tape the cable housing to the head tube and ride into the sunset, amigo.
