crazy_gap girl Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Cleanbikes sell armodlillos.. they have sold out at the moment, but they are trying to get more in, i think there was some complications which the company about the name a while ago and cleanbikes only have limited stock... but try looking on other online trials stores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-town Ollie Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) You can buy armadillo down tube protectors from bike trial man on ebay, They are probaly the best protectors for down tubes. You can also get them from www.trialsshop.co.uk, but i'm not to sure if they still sell them.Ollie Edited July 14, 2006 by S-town Ollie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Elson Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just spoken to clean bikes and they said armadillo are closing down and there for clean bikes arent getting any more, they told me about the trials man on ebay , she said that ben savage owns the trials man ebay shop. Not sure about that one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 You could make your own if you can't purchase a Armodlillo. Although try Airevalleycycles as I remember that they use to sell them don't know whether if they still have some left... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomN Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Easy you can use loads of materials to make one such as plastic drainpipe, cut it in half, holes + zip ties easy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Fried Rice Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 downtube protectors are like shinpads, my okld football shinpads had strips of wood i might make my own one to with the free wooden chopsticks my dad gives away at his shop JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watto Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 (edited) I can remember seeing one made a while ago it had neopreme covered with diamondplate and cable tied on looked swish. Edited July 15, 2006 by watto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
