Velcro on seat stay. Velcro where gear cable outer and brake hose will hit tubes. Apparently motofoam (if cut well) can fit the shock thingy instead of the OEM pro-tect-orr.

Plus you get the added bonus of being as cool as Sam Hill and it will make you go faster....

.....Honest  Wink

Only a matter of time till someone immature enough brings up the whole idolizing sam hill thing, congratulations. Roll Eyes

Was gonna say, the joke's been pretty exhausted.

Danny, there's a topic on ridemonkey that gives some good guidelines here.

OOOO more motofom ideas. Put it in the pedals. That'll stop any stones getting caught. Because that happens loads  Roll Eyes


IIRC the moto foam in pedals is to stop mud filling them up, working by the theory that foam weighs less than mud.

But it backfires, as the mud just sits on the pedal, instead of getting pushed through the holes which have been filled.

And yes, the Sam Hill joke is just old now.

Are all Pro 2s made badly or is it just me?
I am thoroughly annoyed by the whole thing.
