I wouldnt use duck tape because it leaves a stickey residue when taken off.

just use elctrical tape it works fine and also dont listen to griff he doesnt even have a pair so if you want to tape your springs then use electrical tape  its cheap aswell as effective

'well i havent a clue' .. 'UNLESS.. there is something else that they need to wrap.. like the back of some new types of carbon fibre springs ;D'

New to this but I cut up an old motorbike innertube stretched that round and the wr***ed them in black and white gaffer tape seems to work

One of my other hobbies is archery and when I used to make longbows if they show signs of splitting I used to wrap them with strong twine to extend there life so taping the springs might extend there life as well as protecting them
