Protecting frame from scuffs

Cathal-750

Hi,

Does anyone have any tips for protecting your frame from scuffs and scratches? Particularly the top tube, where I always seem to find a way to scratch it somehow.

Cheers,

Cover it in mud

Just accept that it's going to happen and be comfortable with that. No matter what you do it will get scratched. It's a mountain bike, did you buy it to ride or look at?

Helicopter tape if you must. Plenty on Ebay.

Aluminium doesn't rust, and scratches are cool.

It's a MTB, if it's not scuffed you aren't trying

just seen a puff piece for invisiFRAME in July MBUK. looks like a frame specific wrap to protect it.

Invisiframe is awesome. There are probably cheaper ways to do it, but for something specific to your frame... it's great.

I also recommend Helicopter tape. I think it can meet your demand.

Invisiframed my bike..

Definitely would again to!

You will never protect 100% against marking up in mtbing but this is the best, least obtrusive way I found to get your bike relatively protected.
