Road buying advice
Does anybody know where I can get the rubber covers for break and gear cables which protect the frame from ware. Usually on the front of the frame at the headset area.
Thanks

don't bother. they protect the cheap cable not the frame. just put some patches on the frame where the cable touches.
a dirt cable protector is just as good at wearing a frame as a dirty cable. but it is closer so will do more.
if the bike is always clean and never ridden in the wet then they are fine.
