What are you using to protect the swing arm (paint) from chain damage as its getting clattered on the downhill bits ?

Lizard skin swingarm protector – about £10

a lenghth of 40mm wide(I think) velcro (the loops side) stuck on the underside.

another one here for lizard skin.

loads to do the whole bike 😀

Old inner tube & zip ties on mine

I recommend the raceface ones, cordura and one go in the washing machine and look good as new.

try again 😳

Velcro on the underside of the swingarm

Split innertube wrapped round there, held on with a couple of zipties. It deadens sound and protects, and I for one quite like the look.

endura swing arm protector, about £6-7 from crc!

Nothing, mine's an ex demo bike, it had plenty of battle scars when I got it.

The more noise the better, keeps the red sock brigade on their toes.

these are the one for the job.
iv,e got two on mine(heel rub)
