Title: Brake cable rub.
Post by: southern andy on April 27, 2008, 03:26 PM
Has anyone found a solution to the cable rub that happens around the  headtube bit. Can the cable be coated with something to stop any wearing of the paintwork ?????????????????

Cheers Mr snav, a bit of sellotape is now attached, hope it doesn't wreck my paint, but then i've never come across a decent sellotape anyway. :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

I buy that clear sticky vinyl from woolies ,  ;)  does the job, plus comes in handy if your stickers peel , just put some over the top,   :4_17_5:
