I remember when you talked about maybe making one out of carbon but that's cool that you did it. I don't get why every bike with the shock near the tire doesn't come with one. Only bikes I can think of are the V10 and Specialized.

I did actually talked to Commencal in case they where interested in my idea, but they told me that they had already started develop a carbon fender for the rear shock. I'm pretty exited to see how commencal's stuff turns out and how close my idea is to theirs:P

Well thats not many people.....



Anyway, patenting something like that is pointless. All it would take is a TINY difference to get around the patent.

Just made my self a homemade shock protector:P Used a 1,5l plastic bottle and two screws with nuts on. Cut out some peaces of the bottle and woalla!! Haven't got any chance to test it in the mud jet since its only ice and a little snow outside
but guess its going to be a lot of mud when the ice snow melts:S

Nice idea!

A condom works well too (that's not my pic)
