old tyre

As above, a bit of old tyre and some cable ties.

I used some thick smooth rubber that was the sprung base of a wooden sofa. About 5 mm thick. Cut and shaped to fit frame, it looks a lot neater than the bit of old tyre.

If you have an ugly bike, a homemade bodge is fine. If it's aesthetically pleasing, buy a Rockguard.

If you have a bike, a tyre is fine.

For added pimping, make it match the ones on the bike.

Could have made the edges prettier, but just cut with snips, heated it and rode off into the sunset
