Thanks for the add to the forum- total newb at bike packing so have a lot of questions. I tried searching the forum but no luck.

I see a lot of frames for sale where the seller mentions chafing or rubs from the frame bag. What is best to use or apply to the frame to prevent this?

First of many questions!

Just put frame protection tape where things rub. Revelate sells some, as do others

I simply use clear packing tape at key points on the frame

ESI makes some good tape that can be used to stop frame chafing, chain marks, and fix grips and what not.
