Hi I want to make some frame guards for my freeride, they are to protect the aluminium frame from the side of my boots rubbing. Anybody got any suggestions about how to do it. One idea I had was to use some sticky kevlar type material something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Real-Kevlar-Carbo...
