Sirius question? Don't put cables between bumper and frame?
Edit: just realized you have a Sunday. The bumpers should be hitting the top tube, it sounds like you might have them on the gusset.

What kind of bike is it? Most have cable braze ons to,secure your cables away from anything to damage them.

Get thicker bumpers? I've never had a problem, the bumpers usually provide enough clearance so nothing pinches, especially if the lines are low on the headtube.

Sounds like you need to move the bumpers up or down or rotate them for max clearance (or both). Most bumpers actually work fine for most people. If you post a picture of your setup we can provide more help.
