What did you use to protect the frame at the contact point where the cable touch?
I want to protect my CR1.
I ordered the Jagwire gel

But if you have any other idea let me know!
I have 5 months to find the best protection...
Canada is not a country for Cyclist..;)
Thanks guys

Those should work well, my Nokons get here today and they come with some clear tubing to cover the housing, lets see how that works. I will post some pics later today!

You can get 3M Scotchgard film here, it would cover the front of my Aston Martin DB9 if I had one. I use 8mil material under the downtube, FD clamp area and back of the seattube and on my MTBs around the rear triangle. I use the 12mil for housing contact points and at the chainstay, this is tough stuff. I also cover the headtube with 8mil since it sees highway miles on top of the car.

I use this stuff for car and motorcycle headlight covers, the 12mil film is amazingly resiliant. On most frames it's very difficult to even see. A few feet of goes a long way. Also great for the screen on your ipod, pda/phone, wear points on cameras and whatever else needs discrete protection.

I have jagwire sets on my new build and think the little red protective condoms look a bit silly, almost as bad as carbon protectors.

Good morning all
Ok it's done, yesterday I had installed my Jagwire.
They are almost invisible. I hope that they will work well

my LBS in Montréal.
He ordered it, because he didn't know the existance, but I know that Bontrager make the same thing.
To install it I used Silicon spray.
I will have to wait into the spring to test it.
Cheers

Thanks guys.

Shipping rate is rediculously high... the same price as 2 packs of the top tube!!!

Will ttry a DIY method until my LBS carries it :(

I Forgot
Bought 2 packs! because they come by 4...
And if you want to do a nice and clean job you need 5!
.... yep you need a 5th for the rear derailleur where the derailleur is fixed to the frame.
Cheers and Happy holidays season!!
