They are more of a fashion item than a protective item. Even with a TT pad your downtube and chainstays are going to get scratched if you lock up to poles. Scratches are just part of riding in an urban environment.
P.S., I'm from Toledo originally. How's the biking there these days? Used to be only a handful of us 'serious' cyclists in the OWE. Hopefully things have changed.
I'm just starting to get into the FG scene, but so far I haven't found there to be much of a community in Toledo.
