I suggest using a 100 % synthetic card of a more resilient plastic that will give you many more miles of use before needing replacement.

Also, the attachment pictured appears to be celophane tape based, which I don't think is sturdy enough for long term use. A more rigid clamp will last longer and keep that card properly placed for optimal performance. The type of clamp will depend on the type/size of seatstay.
Or you can just buy one of these bad boys
