Duane_Bosch Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Edit: Sorry, I see you may not have been refering to my post. Not directed at you or anyone in particular. I just cant understand the logic of taping **** to your bike. Why spend all that cash on a bike? Color code to the nines? Source parts that are as light as possible. And then ruin it by taping a tube to the the frame and a half link to the brake hose. IMO it ruins the look of a beautiful bike. Anyway. Enough moaning. No offence to anyone. I have a saddle bag and a mini pump on my roadie so who am I to comment?

I'd honestly rather wear a bum bag.What you're saying makes sense, but at the end of the day it comes down to comfort for me. I try do things as neatly as possible with integrated tools on bottle cages, CO2 canisters in pumps, half link in the steerer tube, etc. But the tube is one of those things that just can't be done discreetly - and if I have to choose between that or carrying a pack - I'm gonna choose the ugly tube (and I agree - it does look horrible). I have also tried bum bags, just don't get along with them. If someone finds a way to store a tube in a discreet way on the bike, I will jump at buying that product. But until then, it has to stay strapped to my top tube... The one thing I miss immensely about my Stumpy is that SWAT box in the down tube.
Grease_Monkey Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 I hear you. No offence to anyone intended.None taken!
Patensie Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 My only gripe with you tranny loving okes is that you spent ALL your money on bikes. Everybody knows you need to have a couch on which to put your new wheels on for a proper pic. Or are you just scared of your wives?????
Thermophage Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 what's that on your chainstay? Version 1 prototype of my chainslap noise reduction device. Here is version 2.0 where I removed the integrated chainstay protector (they don't cover enough and look k@k when you have a little extra piece fore and aft).So yeah v2.0 works a damn treat!
Thermophage Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Gorgeous bike and then you use electrical tape to tape a tube to the frame. I don't get it. I can't wait for packs to make a comebaxk.Yeah was temporary solution when i was running a Maxxis tyre so needed a tube. Switched to a Schwalbe out back so tubes no longer necessary

I'm liking what Loris vergier did to his bike. In terms of compound, was thinking of forming it from RTV rubber silicon. Do you have an NRD or antichainslap on the inside of drive side seat stay?

Will try get a day light one. But basically some inntertube folded up, then held in place temporarily with insulation tape makes the bumps. You then do the standard innertube wrap over them to fix them in place and just make sure you have ample coverage over each bump. So far it's been rather quiet. V 1.0 worked well, but was very flexible, so was worried with the more rigid V2.0 that it wouldn't work as well, but it does.I haven't put any bumps on the seatstay, the rubber there is just to stop chipping and doesn't seem to make much noise as far as I can tell.
Thermophage Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Chaintamer?Works good too, but then i would still have sat with an integrated guard, then two pieces of innertube on either end of it. So I wanted to remove the integrated on and at least make the whole thing uniform. And...I prefer to tinker when i can as opposed to off the shelf.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Yeah was temporary solution when i was running a Maxxis tyre so needed a tube. Switched to a Schwalbe out back so tubes no longer necessary True story with EXO vs SG.

Why stop at the chainstatys? Just do the whole bike. Came for the thread title, stayed for the bikes.
Thermophage Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Why stop at the chainstatys? Just do the whole bike. Came for the thread title, stayed for the bikes. Um...because that'd be dumb and serve no function other than turning my frame into a Rough Rider condom.

Thermophage Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 And then you'd have Rupert-drool all over it... So long as it is just drool...
