Tijmen-
Ooh that's a good idea! I've never used it before, but that should work quite well actually. Thanks! Any specific recommendations or should I just buy anything that says 'heat shrink tube' on Amazon?
Well ideally I'd like to avoid doing anything that can't be reversed, or that will impact the finish. If I knew I wanted to go fixed forever on that frame I'd just remove the mount entirely, but I'm pretty sure I'll be putting some gears on it in the future, so I'd like to keep the mount itself as it is.

So I have a frame I'll be using fixed though it was made for gears, which means I'm left with the brazed-on (so, non-removable) front derailleur mount sticking out from the seat tube. It's got pretty sharp corners, so I'd like to put something on it to protect my leg - be it in a crash or whatever else might happen, just not a fan of sharp stuff sticking out!
Anyone got a good idea for a simple rubber 'cap' I could put on? I was thinking of fashioning something simple out of an old inner tube which would be fastened by a small bolt on the mount. Or are there other good ways of doing it / something else that lends itself to being used for this?
