Bicycle Frame Protection
an old innertube or two can be artfully used to protect your bicycle frame from damage.
Cut the Valve Out of Your Innertube
Split the Inner Tube Down the Center
This makes a flat strip. thinner tubes are good because they are lighter and narrower
Wrap Around the Frame
you probably should remove the brake and gear cables so as not to trap them.
Cable Ties Are Good for Finishing at Both Ends
Voila!
cool huh. this is excellent in preventing damage to your frame from using U-Locks to lock them up. also great to dress down your bicycle for urban environments.
