Introduction: Bicycle Frame Protection

an old innertube or two can be artfully used to protect your bicycle frame from damage.

Step 1: Cut the Valve Out of Your Innertube


Step 2: Split the Inner Tube Down the Center

This makes a flat strip. thinner tubes are good because they are lighter and narrower

Step 3: Wrap Around the Frame

you probably should remove the brake and gear cables so as not to trap them.

Step 4: Cable Ties Are Good for Finishing at Both Ends


Step 5: 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.
