Does anyone know if there's any 'custom' (i.e. better/really good) rim protectors about for changing tyres on a 1200 spoked wheel, or do the protectors from the likes of Abba work just fine?

You thought that you might get a sensible response! Try ADV rider forum where there is a lot less clowns!
 
I have a dream to be a super trouper. While it's not about money money money I've posted an SOS but all the answers came from dancing queens, who are probabaly called Chiquitita. The name of the game is rim protectors. I was hoping for some help, you know - the way old friends do. So thank you for the music, but I'm not head over heals with the replies.

Now, I'm going to try and 'soften' the nylon ones and re-mould then to the shape of the spoked rims. I'm hoping Nylons soft enough to be moulded in boiling water.

Or try and buy some 1-2mm thick sheets of nylon - about A4 size - anyone know any sources?
 
I just use shampoo bottles cut up, and I used plastic milk cartons, untill I had the shampoo bottles, I know other super troupers use leather swatches, obtained from old sofa's or from the shops that sell sofa's :augie

Dude take some automotive heater hose or standard garden hose cut about 4" long then slit them length wise. Slip over the rim edge...thats what I use when changing tires for rim protection and it works fine!

....an No I don't sing...nor do I do windows either...:augie

Mamma Mia!

Slowdown's putting out an SOS. Won't any of you be a Super Trouper, and save him some Money, Money, Money before he meets his Waterloo?

Does Your Mother Know He Is Your Brother, One Of Us? That's The Name Of the Game.

When All Is Said And Done I better not go On And On And On.
