I was out cycling tonight and a big rock flipped up and put a dent in my down tube. I'm really pi**ed off about it.

Does anyone know where I can get some kind of bash protector for it? It's a Trance X. Thanks.

old tyre

I've fitted armourfend to my mojo. It's designed to stop stone chips on cars.

The guys can sell you a kit but I took them a bare frame and spend QuiteALot getting them to fit it.

I've used it for years on motorbikes and it's good stuff.

There was a thread in the bike forum a few days ago about the 3m / helicopter tape that's worth a read as well

Expanding on slw's post

Thanks guys.

I use thick inner tubes – maxis dh is 1.5mm and 8.99 fromcrc enough for three bikes..

Cheers rhys_gibby, that is exactly the sort of thing i mean.

You can buy carbon ones for the trance x. Just ebay trance and one or more should pop up

yeah, try ebay. I got one from the same guy for my remedy, does the job well. He does these as a side line, his main stuff is carbon fibre bits for motorcycles. But he's a keen biker and started by making one for his reign

What sort of fanny fits alloy chainring bolts then ties half a tyre to their downtube? 😆

Saw 3 guys on an uplift truck once with about 3 rolls of gaffer tape wrapped around each bike. WTF?

dents are fine unless they're on a weld, stanchion or fork lower

That's nice to know. My dent's on quite a thick bit of the frame infront of the rear shock mount so hopefully it'll be ok

i put a hole in the downtube of my SX trail. spesh told me it'd be fine and not to worry.

sold it with it and as far as I know its still going strong.

Nice one, found it thanks. Has anyone used one of these and does it fit nice and tight? I wouldn’t be keen if it was getting mud stuck under it all the time.
