lovatt Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Ye an armourdillo will fit on a monty. i know 2 people who run theirs with them on. You could also look at chain stay protection. I find the best thing to use, and so do alot of other people is hose piping. all you have to do is cut it to the right size then just zip tie it on. lovatt :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialridertom Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Yes the amordildo will fit your bike mate and also they brilliant stop most dents and scratches :angry: i have had one for about 3 weeks now and i am more open minded to do bigger stiff without worrying about the down tube so overall they give me a bit of a boost knowing my frame isnt going to get knackerd in most cases :P :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lankyri Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 me and a mate had a conversation bout frame protection today and yes armourdillo are great even though i havent put mine on for like 2 weeks but ive seen tyres and grips used as a frame protector but i we thought of a better thing what about cable use some outer brake cable and weld some guides on your frame simple would it work..... id prefer a armourdillo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 arm-a-dildo's arnt in production anymore i dont think but you can pick 1 up on e-bay for about £12, if not get 4-6 spokes then tape them on to your downtube :P will do nothing but might made you feel better about going big :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyota200x Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I recomend making your own. You can grab some PVC pipe and cut a strip 3" wide and put it on your downtube or go get some garden hose type material. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Yeah get an armourdillo, my mates just ordered one and i should be buying one soon :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Armourdillo will fit most frames, very easy to fit, get one of them, Chainstay protector if you are that bothered from Tartybikes, you could also try making your own chainstay protector like most people, with a metal sheet, protection from sidehops.

MaXsteri Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 An Amourdillo is a must IMO, I land hard on mine atleast once a ride :P No dents for me yet For the chainstays, on the drive side i use a couple of layers of old innertube. On the sidehop side i have a sheet of carbon fibre that extends down a couple of mm below the stays. Its super solid and works well. Came with the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey gav Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 to be honest i think the best way to stop dents is to use an old tire and tape it on it might not look as good but it really helps to stop dents. the other option is to not bother with a protective pad and just live with a dent or scratch, if you start thinking along the lines are you really going to cover your whole frame with pads to save you getting dents you can't really, so there is no point in using a pad when you could dent/scratch any part of your frame anyway.

Simpson Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I recomend making your own. I dont :'( for £12 and knowing that your frame will be un scratched an undented :'( worth the $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
