Gogz- Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I use a lizard skin with some sheets of rubber under it. It doesn't stop big dents but its better than nothing. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendy Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 If I was you I would run a bash ring if your not already to save chain snapping and free wheel/front sprocket damage. I Have cut up old tyres and cable tied them to the frame before quite a heavy solution but quite effective.bendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I used an old primo dirt monster as a downtube protector, pretty much the same pattern as the dmr tyre, protects from scratches and most minor dings I used to use the Vee Monster with loads of gaffa tape round it.

RETROLEO Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 could i ask why did they stop making armadilos?never seen one before but sounds like the best thing since sliced bread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollo you ball-bag Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 could i ask why did they stop making armadilos?never seen one before but sounds like the best thing since sliced bread.to sell more probably. seems anything that goes out of production is suddenly the most desireable thing sometiime later. e.g. echo 05 rims old zoo pads armoudillos and old echo/monty white line tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
