Top Tube Protector

Anyone know where I would get a cheap, simple, non-fugly Top Tube Protector in Dublin?

It's to stop bits of my Kaffenback digging into my shoulders while I'm pretending it is a CX Bike.

Tried On-Track a couple of times today but they were closed.

You can get some nice ones here in various sizes/colours.

Was thinking of that. What are my options for closing it I wonder? Tape? Cable Ties? Prayer?

A few cable ties in your favourite colour should nicely sink in the foam and not cause any chafing. I guess cables under the top tube on your Kaffenback have outer casing?

Try bike24 in the car rack section

I have a bit of that pipe insulation at home - I can bring a bit for you tomorrow if you want. Ye big wuss.

This one is nice: black and for 28mm pipes. I think your top tube is either 28,6 or 31.8mm:

Ta. That'll do.

Lenny - Maybe I'll just wear shoulder pads instead. Think of the SHAME.

the insulation i had at home was 20mm so no good to you.
