If you ride trials, your bike will start getting scratched to hell eventually. The best thing to do is to get a chainstay protector (take your pick)And to stop the brake cable from rubbing, you could get these.Also, don't capitalize every letter, only do it at the start of sentances, and words like I, and I'm etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgun_Donor Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 If you really want to keep it looking like new, then dont ride it... but if you want to get better your going to be pushing your limits and missing, thus putting scratches on it, cant avoid it unfortunately. you can go through the trouble of respraying it to make it look nicer, but meh, ore hassle then its worth as its only going to get damaged again.Also in my opinion, a bike looks better used, gives it character.

Couldn't have put it better myself.The only way you're going to keep it looking new is keeping on top of the paintwork, so spraying it whenever you scratch it. Just really not worth it.
