Eighteen bikes have one and also Endura i think the DMR one rips to easy on my DH bike the chain ripped it ater not long i must amit innertubes look rough just pay a little and it looks far better0

old tyre and zip ties of you want something slightly better looking (and a bit heavier).
I use an old inner tube and it doesn't look too bad IMO.Giant TCR advanced 2 (Summer/race)
Merlin single malt fixie (Commuter/winter/training)
Trek superfly 7 (Summer XC)
Giant Yukon singlespeed conversion (winter MTB/Ice/snow)

The dhb one that Wiggle sell is cheap and so-far effective for me.
I used to use the inner tube and zip ties method, but it just seemed wrong on a brand new frame somehow.0 -

Depends on your aesthetic. All the pros run innertubes and zip-ties so if you like your bike to look hard-core and functional it looks good. If you like it to look shop-fresh, then get the Lizard Skin.

If you dont like the look of zip ties dont buy a stick-on protector as you'll end up having to use them anyway! Lizard skins are ok dont expect anything to last too long though if your quite an aggresive rider0
