Anyone know where I can get some of these ? I plan to copter tape the frame but in crucial area's would like to use these too.
The only ones I can find are these ones, but I'm after black.
Cheers

a bit of rubbery heatshrink tubing in the right places?
Do you really need them? Bikes are made to ride not to look at. Live with it. Maybe I am biased as I use all my bikes as a means of transport you appear to be more interested in it asthetics??

What evidence have you got for this wild and unsupported statement? 😯
I use Park patches as frame protectors - cheap and last ages.
Even soft rubber cable covers will mark the frame when dirty.
Something like this?

I'm not one for massive maintenance, polishing and all that, I ride my bikes as transport every day.
But....
I recently bought a second hand Cannondale Prophet, and there is a pretty deep gouge in the aluminium tube from a cable rubbing. The frame was dirt cheap, so I don't mind, but I wouldn't be surprised if it snaps there at some point. Metal, especially aluminium, is remarkably soft and a bit of protection might stop a tube wearing away and snapping. Saying that, I would recommend a patch on the tube, not a cover on the cable, as the rubbing motion will then be on the patch, not the tube.
Decathlon frame protectors work well.
