SCOTTY___ Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) Cut a tyer up and zip tie it to the the down tube, works a treat.Doesnt stop dents... Just scrapes..Get a hold of some old spokes and something off of a kiddies bike Click Me LIke the 'Glitter on the Top Tube... Slap an Inner tube on the inside... With the Spokes n the Inside of the tube.. Tape it to the 'Glitter thing' and tie it round... The Velcro MIGHT fit but if not Tie Raps are a good!Hope this helps...Craig Edited January 18, 2006 by Echo_Scotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshywa Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 try buying a sheet of thin (thin enough to bend around a frame) carbon fibre (ebay mabye) then cut it into the shape of a carbonique frame protector... that works for a mate of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 ben i may just get an armoudillo for my python, if you want ill get you one at same time,it will need a bit of cutting but it will be worth it in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly joe Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I ran a armadillo on my t-pro and it did not stop it denting. the rods in the armadillo just pushed into the frame and left long thin dents. Not sure on any ways to prevent it denting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Dont think the armoured dildo will go round a GU because of all the gusseting etc, thats the only logical reason i can think of for him declining that option anyway . . maybe in this order . . .innertube, motorbike spokes, tyre, cableties.should work fine.

jamesb Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 PVC plastic pipe! Buy the right diameter and length, cut it in half, put a thin layer of foam under it (against your frame), and tape it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
