A neat solution for stopping scratches

These silicone rubber tubes come in packs of four and protect your bike’s paintwork from the cables.

They’re a neater solution than the usual frame protection stickers, but a tight ﬁt over the cables so it pays to work some diluted washing-up liquid onto them ﬁrst.

Product "34704" does not exist or you do not have permission to access it.
