As mountain bikers, it goes without saying that our bikes are our prize possessions! We want to have an awesome time getting sideways on our bikes, but we don't want to put a big scratch in the paintwork by getting a bit over enthusiastic! So what can we do!? Doddy's got the solutions!

3M tape goes by many names. 3M, Helitape, Invisiframe or frame armour. Whatever it's refferred to as by product variation, it essentially provides the same purpose. This is to protect your frame from superficial and cosmetic damage that could happen during everyday use, almost like a second skin for your bike.
3M or Helitape is great as, being see through, it doesn't affect the look of your bike too much! After a few months of riding you'll definitely be thankful its there and won't notice it at all! Some level of protection for your frame is a must if you're conscious of stone chips on your paintwork. Either as a happy owner or if you're always someone with re-sale value in mind, some level of frame protection is great for protecting your bike!

Thank you a million for this video. I got a brand new full carbon cross bike and I'm gonna use it every day for my job. I was very worried about its beautiful orange body. I searched the whole city for some covering tapes and now, you gave me the clues. Cheers really.

@andrefilipeasilva 6 лет назад

To my BMC TE01 frame I used Solidworks (you can use Autocad) to draw some shapes on a A3 paper and taking some measures on the frame at the same time. When completed I printed in true scale and cut those shapes and then used tape to secure them in place and check if it was ok! Then printed another sheet and with a marker I drawed the outlines of the shapes into the 3M Scotchguard A3 protective film and cut it. Worked out so good!

@olegpetelevitch4443 5 лет назад

@Hilly0206 5 лет назад

I find that after 24 hours or so you can get rid of any trapped air bubbles by pricking them with a pin or similar and then spray the hole with a 50/50 water/isopropyl alcohol mix and rubbing the bubble with a rubber wedge, or even a Bic pen lid, will really get rid of the bubbles. I’d also recommend going around the entire edge of the decal to ensure that i is really adhered to the frame. This is especially effective on Invisframe.

You should do a 26 inch full suspension mtb bike giveaway. Mostly because I have crappy Walmart bike that doesn't even have a thread less head tube so I'm afraid to go on trails and the trails are to far away. The only berm in the area is in a tiny pump track my local bike shop so I would really like the bike to ride trails.

warmer feel to a carbon frame? it may feel warmer to your hand, but it's not going to feel warmer to an inanimate sticker! if the bike is at room temperature, it's at room temperature whether it is carbon or aluminium. The only difference that might affect adhesion is the surface treatment, ie whether it's glossy or matt.

@Dan_Kornfeld 5 лет назад

(I realize this is an older posting) - A solution would be to tape up the bike, and then buff the tape with a grey Scotch-bribe pad. * Only buff back and forth in the same direction for best results. Just take care around the edges of the tape.
