I essentially want to make a neoprene boot like so;

Anyone know where I can get a bit of material to sew up?

either use a chainstay protector or speak to your local custom wetsuit manufacturer (ask in a sailing shop)

Wouldn't a lizard skin style fork guard have a similar diameter? And a cut for the cable?

May have an old one somewhere......

Yeah, thought about getting a chainstay protector (jumbo one) and modding it.

I need it to be at least 200mm long, so guessing a fork guard wouldnt work.

email me your address and the dimensions of how much you want. I've got a massive sheet of it in the garage (I use it as a changing matt after surfing).

Or................ buy a cheap wetsuit from the free adds - probably about a tenna, it'll have to be about 1.5-2mm thickness (kiddies cheap ones would work best i'd of thought) and make a few and sell em here for fiver each, you can use a glue like evo stick instead of stitching, or for a pro look find someone with a blind stitcher, although it's have to be glued first, or get it overlocked by one of those little women in the dry cleaners that do clothing alterations and turn it inside out. If you can get some single lined stuff (rubber one side, nylon the other) it'll keep more dirt out, especially with a zip tie top and bottom.

God i must be bored.
