Guest Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Does anyone know of a source of velcroed tube cover of the sort used on BMX bike cross bars but longer (up to 2 metres)? size to round 3inch diameter tube? Made of nylon or cordura or preferably thin neoprene for stretchiness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonphotographic Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Halfords and some specialist cycling shops do lines of velcroed tube covers. May be worth having a look Failing that, it one of your neighbours' kids gets a bike for his birthday, nick the trims when he's not looking My son works at Bikus in Bovey tracey and reckons if you email them with what you want, they can order them in www.bikus.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatboy Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Francis, When I was looking around my workshop today I saw some nylon hydraulic hose protector about 3 inch diameter. It is made by a company called Pirtek, they call it a textile sleeve Part no. TEXS-N where n is the diameter, it is made in different diameters, is light weight very strong & could possibly be what you are looking for? It is available from most hydraulic hose service companies The only down side is, it is made as a long tube length with no Velcro join. But B&Q sell Velcro by the metre. Get your sewing machine out & hey presto! Just the thing to help pass this rainy spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 I know a guy who works for Pirtek. Leave this with me. You are talking about the Hydralic protector if not mistaken.... I cadged a small bit a while back. OR I have a sewing machine Pick your fabric and away you go. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Some good ones there. I went with the Seat belt covers and car seat covers and sewed on the velcro. The results will be on display at the Nats!!!!! and plenty photos... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
