Helitape would work great

I used duct tape on my prongs and it's been spot on

I use chopped up inner tube to protect my carbon fork from wear from straps.

bingo, we have a winner.
if i cut a small tube in rings, i can take the wheel out and undo the disc caliper and slide the rings up the fork leg to the correct spot.
bloody perfect mate.

Yep inner tube.

if i cut a small tube...

I thought this, and swiftly discovered that the tube didn't stretch as much as I expected. I then cut up a thicker tube, and managed one fork leg, but getting a complete ring over the brake posts proved to be a sticking point too. Prepare for swearing...

warm the tube first in warm water to get mre stretch?
