Grease_Monkey Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 you clearly have never experience the joy that is called gorilla tape then The stuff is awesome. I have a bunch of it stuck all over my bike now - inside of chainstays, back of seat tube, top tube where I attach my tube. Really awesome stuff, and protects from scrapes and rubbing really well. I've learnt from previous frames where they get scuffed and have covered the new one with gorilla tape in all those spots. If applied propperly you can't even see it's there.
Shebeen Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Update: Took the blue bike for a spin on some gravel and let's just say it would be a hella bumpy 4 days haha. But i found a frikkn amazing seatstay pannier rack from Thule (pics attached) So the hardtail is looking like a great option. I also made some fork water bottle mounts to free up some space to make a frame bag, which im going to attempt to make in the upcoming weeks. Will post on here as i go along for those who are interested... yup that's the full sus compatible racks from NZ that thule bought out. They work, I've seen them in action. surprised holdfast haven't copied the design yet
