Fantastic idea might use that one. I've got the old innertube wrap on my chainstay, works great!

The inner tube works better than the neoprene jobs in my experience - it's a bit more stretchy and so doesn't ride up the headset.
For a really good job fill the whole thing with grease so no water can pool in there.

I seem to remember a mate having on of those lizard skin efforts at some point & when he took it off, it had scratched the paint round the bottom of the headtube... not sure if this was a common problem, or maybe that he'd just not cleaned the bike before he put it on?
anyone else have a simliar problem? I'm thinking of getting one too as i'm going to be running a control centre on my kona, which to my memory, wasn't the best sealed unit in history... liking the inner tube idea though
