megaspin Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hey everyoneJust a small question, Does anyone know what company or where I can buy a lizard skin, or similar neopreen sleeve, similar to those used on chainstays, but for the downtube?I'm starting to try and hook up walls and a few times I have scratched my frame... I've seen them on pictures but all my local bike shops have been useless and suggested using a rear suspension cover... I know it's not the biggest of topics/posts, but any help would be duely appreciated.ThanksBlessins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaspin Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 (edited) HeyI don't mind using others brands at all. In fact, I've had plenty of luck finding chainstay protectors, that's not a problem.What I am trying to find are downtube protectors to protect the underside of my frame for when I just miss the bash ring.I've seen them used, am just clueless where they come from...Cheers again,Jon(Cheers Cred)Ok.Mission success, They are called "Armourdillo Frame Protectors"And if anyone else is looking for them, cleanbikes - do indeed sell them, though they are temp out of stock! Pants! Blessins Edited September 4, 2006 by megaspin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
