|   Frame Protectors .... Where to get em? | shinobifish
Aug 15, 2003 7:12 AM | | A few years back I bought a clear stick-on chainstay protector. In the package was also a few die-cut stick-on circles to be placed on the headtube, etc to stop cable rub from damaging paint. The circles were the perfect size and pre-cut for ease. Does anybody know where to find these? I have tried every local shop with no luck. |

Aug 15, 2003 9:29 AM | | -electrical tape (comes in colors, so you may be able to match the paint)
-Clear packing tape. Layer to desired thickness.
-circular pieces of velcro (loop side)... less friction.
-used chewing gum, shaded with food coloring.
-stencil on spots of clear epoxy... use wide masking tape. Cut the tape on somethign else, and transfer to the frame. Remove within a minute or two of applying the epoxy, and way before it dries. This can be sanded/polished to look good, and can always be filled back in when it wears. The epoxy will also wear longer than vinyl, and not collect dust/dirt if/when the edges come up.
-Band-aid? Maybe one of the really cool harry potter ones, with the glow-in the dark lightning bolts... |
