justfuzzit Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I was reading a magazine and saw someone who had put a split hose on their downtube near the bb area to protect the frame. Has anyone tried this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I used to do it on chainstay to protect it when sidehopping.Worked well, never did it on downtube, never hit it really lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deagledaddy Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 it's DENT not dent /rant Why the need for the rant, the fact it can be dent or DENT just makes you look sillier for ranting!!http://www.answers.com/dent&r=67In future less of the pointless posts yeah!On topic:Just let the downtube get damaged, hose won't really do enough to protect against proper dents as said. something more solid does more good.All protection looks a bit naff though. Perhaps jsut try to be more confident and also not go trying rails etc before you can do low ones etc.... if that makes sence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I did put dent, but then it didnt look right, so edited and put dent Anyways, iv had the hose pipe on my chainstay before, it just got anoyying after a while, when it kapt getting cought and falling off my frame n stuff... so i just took it off, and since my frame is fooked anyways, i dont bother with it any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall_Rob Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 If you are really that worried about dents, just buy an armourdillo bash guard.They cost around £15, really tough and velcro around your down tube and can be placed right down to your BB. They don't move about and i think are great for someone that is learning and keeps stacking.I use one. Don't care what anyone else thinks about it. Even if i fall off, my bike should stay stronger, for longer. You can always remove it if someone starts taking the piss but no one really messes with me so don't have that problem lol.Cheers, robbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
