Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Self-fusing silicone tape. No adhesive mess. Much more durable than electrical tape.

It "deteriates," creeps, and turns into a sticky mess. I use it (white, obviously) on sailboats to secure snap shackles temporarily and, of course, for quick electrical insulation, but that's all it's good for, IMO.

I go for the grey fold up hooks myself. They might make you wish all your bikes had horizontal top tubes, however

I've had some rolls do that, but I've also had some that haven't, not for years and years. I would not tolerate sticky icky on the Cervelo.
