Rhino lining for bikes?

Try Rhino lining your helmet.

Because you know that helmet can get pretty scratched up. You might also consider polyeurothane (or however you spell it)--you can even get it in a clear finish. Four coats should do it.

Of course you'll want to protect your tires from getting worn looking as well. Better wrap those in plastic wrap when you ride. Don't forget to cover the spokes and drivechain.

Honestly, rhino lining a bike sounds just that kind of rediculous. I could see maybe putting some on the bottom of the downtube, but you could just as well use a Lizard Skins rear suspension protector--which is washable.

You can also get clear tape specifically made for bikes which is very tough and virtually invisible unless you look really close.

Personally, I plan to beat the paint off my bike, then send it back to the manufacturer--TREK--for a custom paint job (It's about $300 to $400).

I know what it's like when you get those first few gouges on a new bike, but that's the way it goes.

If you really want to protect the paint job, my best, real suggestion is to keep it clean and to polish it using Finish Line bike polish or Finish Line Pro Detailer. Pro Detailer in particular makes it look like a showbike and repells crud and scratches better than any thing else I've used.

Ride it like you STOLE it!!
