koxxboy14 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Hi, I'm getting my new monty this week and i don't want to scuff up the bottom. I have seen people with bike protectors that fit on to their frame. Where do I get them?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt.price Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 you cant buy them anymore. i dout you'll find a 2nd hand one. best make a homemade one. i made one made out of plastic , an old tyre , tied up in old rim tape and inner tube. or just cable tie a tyre to your frame. hope this helps... matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dušan Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 How long do you ride?If u arent doing hook ups i dont think you can damage your frame... maybe just the back part of it.... and I prefer frame with damaged image . I think it shows that you are good or if not that you are not bicycling around but doing something also on bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dušan Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) untill it breaks..... Well now iam not sure.... What kind of protection are we talking about??? Are we talking about something like this? at 2010-04-18 no its not me :DD Or Bashplate/Bashring? Cause i dont know any other bike protections The protection on the picture wont give your bike longer life..it will be just better looking...Well it might help a bit...but do you think that he is going to brake it? i know nothing about him but i dont think he is doing 2 meters drops without absorbing the impact Edited April 18, 2010 by Dušan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt.price Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 that will stop you bike from scratching but not big dents. to stop dents you need a beefy piece of tyre or something similar.... it wont be that good look though . it wont do any harm but something on to protect yuor frame apart from a tiny bit of weight gain....
