Hello,
you know those little rubber sleeves which fit over brake cables to prevent them wearing the head tube? What is their proper name and where can you get them? I've never seen them anywhere except on bikes.
Thanks muchly,
rich

You can also make them from short lengths of clear plastic tube - but you'll have to undo your cables to thread them on.
Alternatively, stick some clear sticky patches on your head tubeMake mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0 -
Someone should call them "Cable Condoms" 8)0

Dot Bike sell the made by BBB, they are called Cable Wrap.

Surely Helitape will work better, cause the little rubber things will still move aroundAnd now you know, and knowing is half the battle
