what are jekyll carbon owners using for downtube protection?

just curious to what everyone is using, if anything at all. i see the mojo hd downtube cable guard, and i wonder if it would be possible to use that.

looks like the mojo hd downtube cable guard can't be used, cause it uses standard water bottle screws to mount it. And, there aren't any under the downtube of the jekyll. Looks like i can use it on my moto though.

Insurance haha. Seriously though not using any down tube protection, have taken some decent rock hits and only have very minor paint damage. The ballistec seems pretty tough so far.

Cantitoe carbon tape. I don't know the website offhand, but I'm sure a quick google search will do the trick.
