Frame protections options


Gromit

Recommended Posts

I received a replacement frame for my Anthem X1 and I want to learn from my mistakes on the old frame.

 

On the old frame I had Lizardskin leather patches to protect in from the cables and a few other contact areas. Unfortunately after a decent wash these patches start peeling off so I am looking for better options.

 

I know BBB have a full frame protection pack with thick clear vinyl type stickers, will these hold up over time or is it a consumable that needs to be replaced regularly.

 

I also remember seeing a product that goes over the cables like a sleeve that protects the frame where the cables make contact, I just cant seem to find them anywhere, I am assuming that is because they are not any good?

 

What do you guys use to protect your frames?

I found a local brand that are producing some pretty rad protection kits, they include a patch kit which iv'e purchased and works well, Haven't had the product peel off or discolor, it even has selfhealing properties which makes all those small scratches from washing the frame disappear. https://armour-ride.com/collections/clear-frame-protection-kits/products/wrap-around-kit

I have seen this invsi spray, seems to spray a clear gel coat over a surface and can peel it off eventually without marking the bike. Could be worth looking into

No problem with self-promotion, just don't mask it as something else.
