    Not much you can do really, i used old inner tube cut to shape but they still rubbed through that.

    I used some black sticky foam and stuck it on cable quite discreet and its on the cable.

    Clear patches here too, full set for a fiver from Halfords (4 small, 4 large + chainstay) bargain. Actually covered both my bikes with it, my FSR is 6 weeks old and has rubbed through to bare metal in 2 places already. Definitely worth it!
