While I was re-shoeing my A2M this morning, I noticed my chain protector needed a little attention. So, I decided to make this Tip of the Day post.
My A2M originally came with one of those cheapie chain protectors, like a Finish Line. It started falling off after the first season of riding. Now, I work in the entertainment industry on concert and theatrical stages. They use this cool tape called Gaff tape. It is what Gaffer’s use to tape down cables or whatever needs to be taped. Gaff tape is a cloth based tape and comes in many colors, with the most common color in black. You won’t find this stuff at the hardware store. Your local theatrical supply house will stock it as well at online. I buy mine from Markertek.com. It is kind of pricey at $17 a roll. But this stuff works great for chain protector material. It will last a long time, until the glue dries out and begins to fall off.
