Seatpost protection Bike Yoke willy

Many people protect their seat tube from too much dirt and mud with a piece of old hose, which they cut to size, then wrap and secure with cable ties around the seat post and seat tube. This always makes sense, because in bad weather mud and dirt quickly accumulates on the seat clamp and the clamping slot, which will slide into the seat tube at the next opportunity and can cause annoying creaking and scratching on the seat post.
