NeverNotRolling Posted June 16, 2020 Share Anybody know where to find tube protectors? My roadie brakes find themselves bashing the down tube occasionally from bar spin.

Dirt Tracker Posted June 16, 2020 Share How often is this happening and why? They must be some serious switch backs or else ease up on the trick stuff #barspins! Edited June 16, 2020 by Dirt Tracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted June 17, 2020 Share I am interested to see your setup to know how your brakes hit your frame on a road bike. It can happen on my mtb but won't be able to happen on my road bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNT1 Posted June 17, 2020 Share I am interested to see your setup to know how your brakes hit your frame on a road bike. It can happen on my mtb but won't be able to happen on my road bike.I just checked. At full lock to the right, the caliper will indeed hit the downtube. My question would be why is this happening so much to the OP that it is an issue. To that end though, why not simply one of those little stick on silicon dots that you get with most chainstay protector sets that you normally use on the headtube to stop gear or brake cable rub?
