Shuttle rub is the wear on a bicycle’s downtube created by the friction from the tailgate/ tailgate pad of a truck and transporting your bike. The friction creates wear marks on the downtube, these scratches and scuffs can wear right through the paint. Not only are these scratches ugly but they can also be detrimental to your bike. You can minimize shuttle rub with RideWrap’s Shuttle Armor.   Learn more about Shuttle Armor.
