You could try some Halo Twin Rails. Big enough to provide some cushioning, with puncture protection and lots of colour choice.

To take some of the wear off my Kona: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=290280 I recently bought a 2001 Marin Rocky Ridge from ebay for £140.00. It had hardly been ridden and had been upgraded with Hope XC4 discs. The rims show no sign of rim brake wear. The tyres needed replacing and I changed the pedals...

Thanks for the headset offer though. Will stick with the sealed XT one for the time being.

Took a quick look in the loft. Couldn't find the decal sheet. It's probably hidden inside something to keep it flat. I did find the Kona Mountain Bike Owner's Handbook, Manitou Sport owner's manual and the Evans hand written receipt dated 7th September 1992 for the full value of £649.95 (for...

Owned since new (purchased from Evans in Croydon). I knew a chap that worked there, so I only paid £320 (was selling on the shop floor at the time for £640 if I recall). Only recently just started riding again, so it's needed some work (tyres, fork elastomers etc.) as it's been stuck in a shed...
