Wishbone protectors?
Is there such a thing?
For some reason the leading edge of my bottom wishbones suffer a lot from stone chipping. Currently I spot them up with nail varnish.
I was looking at them last night wondering if there was nice carbon protector available??

Hi Steve,
I have put some clear vinyl on the leading edges of mine and it seems to work well.
Regards
Bob

Check Ebay for something called helicoptor tape, I use it on my mountain bikes for protection, it's seriously tough stuff.
Kind regards

either that or "lizard skin" type mountain/motor bike protectors.... neoprene rubber type thing with velcro to hold it around the tube....
Easy enough to pop off and send through the washing machine..
I have one to protect my frame from chain strike

Just the business, thanks.
Will I be able to buy some at Stoneleigh do you think?

Alternatively, those stick on strips that went on a mountain bike to protect the frame from the chain hitting it might work well.
Bet they come in clear or carbon or whatever.
BTW, do you have a lot of nail varnish Coozer?

Helicopter tape is also known as flash tape and is pretty much ideal for the job!
