Can anyone who has experience of this stuff help me out... I have a hardtail. Dartmoor 4X and there's a gusset top and bottom at the chainstay/BB junction. like a little letter box for mud to collect in si I want to plug it. Motofoam seems the obvious choice but how do I attach it so it'll stay put for a whole two seasons of mud, jetwashing and hosing?
Can it be glued or velcro'd in? There's nowhere to attach zipties to keep it in place.

Thanks in advance.

In the winter, and providing you've caught a strong enough cold, you could use your own snot. It's biodegradable and you're recycling!

assuming yours looks like this, why fill it in when you can just use some tape or mastic to cover the hole?

Some expandable foam should fill that nicely.

Cut the moto foams and jam'm in.

Fill it with dirt, then other dirt will simply sluff off

Could also just fill it with love. Nothing could replace love. maybe bacon but that wouldn't work here.

filling it with bacon and covering everything in duct tape would work though

@Gary Serious question, where'd you get it? I was trying to buy some but couldn't find a proper source. Amazon only lists a french supplier who wants stupid lots of money. All the Moto-X related shops around here only have pre-shaped ones for rear brake levers and the like.

This. I assumed would be pretty straightforward. Maybe not.

Will have to take a look later.

mud clearance. so it won't build up.

 

[SkaredShtles]

What in the fuck is this "mud" you guys keep referring to?

 

[KenW449]

spray it with WD-40, its a solvent, will break down dirt to molecular levels....

it would be easier for Gary to just use whatever solvent he is currently huffing.

 

[KenW449]

Most likely to be WD-40
