monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 The fourplay downtube has a 2mm wall thickness so a protector is basically unnecessary. Only get one for aesthetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have thought that - we got sent a photo from a customer a while back who'd put a massive dent in his. I have no idea how, I sort of assumed you'd need a gun of some kind... Anyways, it's the Small you'd need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the subject of protection but not for downtubes or bikes at all, what are the lower leg (shin) protectors i see people wearing in videos etc? is it 661 stuff or homemade? etc and im assuming it's to stop breaking chunks of your leg off whenever a trick goes wrong?

Mark W Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Try-All used to make some but don't any more. 661 shinpads were/are pretty popular though, used to wear some myself aaaaages ago. They're just to help stop little pedal slaps and that sort of thing - most people have got pretty torn up shins so it helps stop that.
