Internal cable rattle
I'm trying to secure my EPS wires in the down tube. Some people use bubble wrap etc or cable ties Has anyone used a bit of sponge cut to fit snuggly in the down tube and thus securing the cables from any rattle.
Question? I can't see any downside using a sponge, anyone have experience of this

thanks all, hadn't thought of the sponge degrading or holding condensation. It would be in the down tube so probably not get wet with rain.0

I filled my Specialissima frame with pipe lagging of the appropriate dap while installing EPS.0

I bought swim noodles from Decathlon and used them to cure cable rattles.

Small-cell bubble-wrap. It's free (everyone has the bloody stuff lying about somewhere), easy to feed into the frame thru various ports, BB, headtube/ top tube junctions, practically zero weight and won't degrade. I believe even a lot of the pro mechanics use/ used to use it (before the increasing prevalence of wireless). My Helium SLX is full of the stuff LOL. I use a spare piece of old cable outer to poke it down the tubes to where it needs to be.0
