cable rattles / vibrates on a carbon frame

sibike

just took my new scott cr1 for a quick test run . really like the bike but one of the cable outers rattles / vibrates on the frame , is there anything i can put on the cable outer or frame to stop this ? .

Try small doughnut rings they slip over the cable preventing rattle think i seen them CRC or Parker.

Think you said it was cable outer rattling yes?

The doughnuts do work but are fitted to the exposed cable inners.

You can get transparent cable scuff protectors. They stick to the frame. A couple of them on top of each other should dull the rattling.

Failing that, little foam sticky pads...but they would look a bit ugly

These should help:

yeah they are the ones im looking for , dont mind paying a fiver for them but the £5 postage is a bit steep for size and weight .
Anyone no anywhere else that sells these ?

Same thing for 4 squid. Still expensive for what they are.

Which cables rattle. I had this with the gear cables on my Madone 5.2. I cured it by routing the RH cable to the LH side stop on the down tube and vice versa. I then crossed the cables as they run down under the down tube. The cable outers are now miles away from the head tube and no more rattles.

Hand sew neoprene around the outer in the appropriate place. The old pencil cases or gloves work well.
