I discovered this summer that adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing works well too. It is designed to be used for underwater applications, but works well for attaching encoders too. It's easy to install, but a little more difficult to remove (you can just cut it off).

The McMaster part number is 7861K44, but don't buy the 4' length unless you want it to be shipped in a 4' long cardboard tube (not coiled up in a bag).
