Is there anything other than sticky patches to stop cable rub. Can you get something to put on the hoses & cables?

Yes you can, 'Yeti' or 'THE' do them but you have to thread them onto the outers. They are made of rubber but will still get mud and grit on them and still rub away at your frame. Best option is helicopter tape, and is cheapest of ebay. You can cut it to any size and shape you wish and is virtually invisible once on, also very tough and will last a lot longer than the normal patches you apply, it is costly but worth it. If require it to go onto bends etc you just heat it slightly with a hair dryer.

ruscle is correct, helicopter tape is the way to go, I always get a roll from ebay, just type 'helicopter tape' on search box on ebay.

you can also use 5mm wiring cable grommets - they saty in place much better and they are much cheaper too.

If you look closely you can see them here at the top of the headtube. (Got them from Maplins)
