Trykonoisseur, u might be interested in a silencing, adhesive backed fabric that Gander Mountain carries.It actually is advertised as a stand silencer. I bought it to put on my Summit climber. It is about 4" wide & 6' long? Sells for $16 or so. Sticks like mad to everything.It has a neoprene backing & is waterproof. I used alcohol to prep the surface. It conforms easily, but u do need to cut it to fit you needs. I also found that if u run a med. grit sandpaper over it, it makes it just a little bit quieter. Not that its noisy, but puts a little wear into it. I've had it on since the season started, & have noticed it is quieter when the cable bumps against it. Good luck & let me know what u think.
