Something to put on Velobase, then!

Like the LizardSkins neoprene covers for the mtb stuff that were popular in the '90s. I guess it must be to keep mud out. I wonder if this would be a good application for a shorty fender of some sort.

I had a Pug Orient Express that I put a U-brake on. Worked well. Somewhat less prone to contamination than the rollercam.
