I'm getting some nicks from rocks kicking up and hitting my downtube
what aftermarket product or DIY options do I have?
Don't care so much about scratches, just want to avoid real damage
genius, thick DH inner tubes could also workYo, worn out knobbie, snips, hole punch, zip ties.
It'll drive everyone nuts.

are they clear? If not can you post some pics?FYI I have all mountain strips everywhere - under bottom tube, sides and top of top tube, stays and seat tube. When I crash in rocks I can ding lots of spots

Giant haz similar..Trek has this downtube protection thing you can buy. The original one had a tear near the BB so I replaced it with a new one and cut the old one by the tear and placed it above the new one to run farther up the downtube. I get alot of rock kick up with the minions so I preferred the protection higher up as well.

glad you posted that one, and after seeing the mud collection, no go, will see if I can find some old wide slicks though
but my tube not round...I've seen some slick ones made by cutting a piece of PVC pipe the right diameter. Attached with zip ties or velcro.
