gu trials Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 hey, ive got a carbon down tube protector for my frame but im not running a bash plate im using a ring. wondering if it is possible to drill a hole in the protector for the bash mount of the frame to fit in without the protector fraying. only reason i want to do this is because im more likely to hit the frame where the plate should be and not in front of the mount like it shows on the picture on tarty where the protector should go. any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gu trials Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 ok cool, so just put a big hole through it and the mount wil sit nicely in it, just dont want to cut the mount of as the frame is still under warrenty and if it breaks then im f**ked haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Morrison Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 What frame is it? Does it have a separate welded on piece of metal for the bash mount ( think it's called a gusset?) If it does then I don't know if It will work. I'm not sure on how to actually drill it though, I'll find out for you tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Could just grind the mount off if you're not using it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD in not reading thread shocker! In answer to the post, just drill a hole in the protector, if you are really worried about it fraying get some epoxy resin, or something similar, and seal around the hole before you mount it on your frame.
