Charity85 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Hey Hubbers Anyone know where I can get hold of this product? Had it on both my previous bikes and it work great, but seems both shops I bought it from have since closed down. Any alternative product suggestions will also be greatly appreciated.

Simon123 Posted August 17, 2021 Share AMS looks so awful. I pulled it off my bike. I'll risk a scratch or three rather. MORNE and stefmeister 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the clear...havent found something to beat it for high wear areas. It's certainly not, IMO, a complete frame protection thing.

Basically the bike version of tramp stamps???? Hairy and Mountain Bru 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialK Posted August 17, 2021 Share https://isikosports.co.za/ They took over AMS from TrailTech while it was in limbo. TrailTech only has their custom branded kits, Isiko Sports seems to have pretty much the full range. Edited August 17, 2021 by SpecialK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMS is butt ugly. ****it, I dont need to try and make money on my bike's resale. I look after it, and I feel better seeing it as is. No plastic stuff thanks. justinafrika 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess each to their own. Definitely a good few places where it has been invaluable on my bike, namely non-drive chainstay.

Eddy Gordo Posted August 17, 2021 Share As ugly as it seems to some(AMS). It actually works extremely well. Other options are not as hard or thick. I cant say how well they work either. I have invisiframe(imported) and another product from a local company on one bike. Invisiframe is a bit thinner than the ams, seems to protect reasonably well. It sure as hell is easy to apply, feels hard and sticks extremely well. The other local product is thicker than the invisiframe but feels softer and after a week the edges has lifted. I will be replacing this very soon with bike shield. I have bike shield on another bike and also no issues. It is a bit thin, but floats into place very easily. You get it in matt and shiny and so far I have had no issues with it lifting or failing to protect the frame. Should I need to do another bike, I would not hesitate to fit bike shield again.

StevieG Posted August 17, 2021 Share I love my AMS protection. Has saved my frame from numerous scratches and nics just from transporting the bike, and that's not even considering what it does for me on the trail. Each to their own though, and some of their designs are a bit kitch, but they have clear versions that won't upset the fashion conscious. Trailtech are open again, so i'd try them, or alternatively Cyclelab sell the Marvel version, which is almost half the price, but equally as good.
