Frame plugs for the tail - crazy, nice, new, homemade ?

[Kurt]

Pictures to know what I'm looking for?

Something like this:

I searched on "Plastic caps", that's just one result.

Better yet, instead of browsing the web, browse those pull-out drawers at the hardware store

The carbon ones look good

After I chopped my tail, I took the piece I cut off to a local bicycle store to find plugs that would fit.  The bike mechanic had a shoe box full of plastic bar plugs.  I found a a set of half-dome plugs that look great, and the mechanic gave them to me for free.

I used rubber corks from the hardware store.  They fit perfect.

looks like the size in the middle there. exactly what I'm talking about.

+1 on pillaging the screw drawer section.

I put on plastic caps off the leg of a chair. Fit perfect and was free.

I'm doing things with the beer tray and will end up with exposed frame holes.
What do I put in there?


( [evil]no, no, no - mine doesn't fit in there. No, I didn't try!)

Take these    :

Celli,
Where did you find those plugs on the site?

Those are probably the ones I'll get, even though the shotgun shells would be better on a more naked hooliganish bike.

[ruester007]

Both are pretty nice, and in my opinion better than the shot gun look. Not only do they rust if left unprotected, its a little OCC on most bikes.

With a bit of tweeking these work well
