Not all as epic as you Alan… You can manual your road bike.

Zefal do one called Down Tube Armor. LBS made me aware of it.

Old strip of your favourite tyre, cable tied on looks cool.

I have some old dh tyres i can use.

+1 for an old tyre.

I have one of these to protect a carbon downtube:

Quite thick, rubbery, translucent long strip. Mine’s been in situ for over a year and all good.

Or, get some craft foam for 79p and duct tape it to a clean downtube. Lasts months, doesn’t damage the paint and the sheet’s big enough for a couple of applications.
