Chainstay protection where cables run?

[ishaw]

I've got a frame with a rear mech cable run along the chain stay. I'd normally wrap a neoprene protector round it, but cant in this case.

Alternatives/suggestions please.

Re:

A length of outer cable then a neoprene type thing on top?

Re:

I'd thought of something like that but the added challenge is the cable guides.

Thought about inner tube wrapped around, but a neat version of this.

Re:

Have you thought of using Spiral Cable Wrap ? this is available with a 3mm I/D and 5mm O/D
and costs about £1 for a metre

You could wrap it around an existing cable run and cover with neoprene/velcro sleeve

Some invisi tape or a cheap neoprene wrap with cut outs where the cable stops are?

Cheers for the ideas. I'll take them on board.

Re:

I've got a neoprene chainstay protector on a bike on which the rear mech cable runs along the chainstay. It's not a problem. I just cut the protector to fit inside the cable guides and wrapped it tightly so as not to interfere with the cable. The guides run the cable at a distance from the chainstay which is greater than the thickness of the protector.

Or that housing used for aero road cable under the bar tape? Then protector.

My frame arrived with some neatly wrapped handlebar tap wound round the chainstay.....
