Down tube

[Gianni]

Ciao everyone, what have you put in to protect the down tube?

I use 3m mastic tape which I have also stuck on the underside of the chain stays and in between where the Trek protection ends and the chainring on the drive side part of the chain stay

Thanks for the reply Jumbleross, I ordered the Mariposa Shelter but I also found a carbon protection. What do you think?

 

[Jumbleross]

Looks much neater than my mastic tape ? can you send me the web link to the carbon one? Trek are sending me a new frame and I might consider it, cheers

I think an Italian craftsman produces it, I don't know if it ships.

Doesn't it seem too thin to soften the blows of the stones?

yep it is, but big rocks wil only be stopped bij a big carbon-/plasticgaurd, like yours. Had a couple oft hick Lizard Skins carbongaurd on my other bike. When removing the guad looked nice, a bit chipped but fine, but after romiving there were stil a few smal dents in the frame.

I use something called hydro-turf with the 3M glue on the back. I got mine from ebay - it was mean for a Transporter's bumper.

It sticks very well and lasts forever, doesn't look too naff either (I think). It's also pretty thick and robust.

I've been using for years the 3M thick vinyl that is used on motocross decals. I buy it by meters and trim to bike specs. Also designed some pre cut for some bikes like the Fantic for a local rental store. You can leave it there forever, or when ready to sell your bike, remove it and the bike looks like new. Also on the Levo
