Tech any ideas on donut work around

[kiwisimon]

Put my bike together last month and it rides great except the shifter cables rattle against the diwntube on any bump. Really annoying. I don't want to have to pull the inner cables out to install little rubber donuts so does anyone have a not to ghetto work around that silences the rattles but doesn't look like a band aid? cheers

Cheap o ring donut. Cut, slip it on and superglue closed.

I would however double check the cable(s) tension, as it is unusual to have shifter cables strike the downtube.

shorten the cables about 5mm.

It's not a tension problem, the cables just run close to the DT.
