Would helicopter tape be sufficient as a frame tube protector for bumps from a brake arm? Frame is 631, brake arm obviously aluminum.

Depends how hard you hit it. It will certainly provide some level of protection, but if you crash in a way which turns the fork far and hard enough to snap the brake arm, the cable stop is probably going to leave a dent in your downtube.

Thanks, ended up using the tape covered by a rubber outer from a twist shifter as a little more insurance.
