Protecting Headtube from Cable Rubbing?
i'd like to protect my new frame from having the paint rubbed off by the cables. my concern
is at the headtube where the shifter-cables run. in the attached photo, you can see my present
solution; i have placed some rubber bands around the cable.
in the past some folks have recommended using cable donuts that are commonly sold
at bike shops. those washers or donuts are typically designed to go around a bare cable
and not around the cable plus housing as in this case. so does anyone have a bright solution
to this??? i just came back from the hardware store, but did not find a washer that would nicely
fit and was soft enough to not rub the frame raw by itself.
thanks in advance,
