Want some black tape for one reason.........not to protect frame but to cover up the huge 'boardman' on my black road bike - bike snobbery?? Shallow?? Maybe, but I also like the idea of a completely black bike and want to make it look as un-carbon as possible to deter scrotes.

Its the carbon road bike, is there anything I should avoid regarding adhesives on carbon? Any suggestions? Preferably something that looks invisible (obviously not clear like helitape cos I need black) and dont really want to spend as much as helitape costs.

The blacks will probably be slightly different shades, i'd just give it a go with some cheap as chips black electrical tape first and see how that goes?

Scotchlite do a reflective tape that comes in black so you can hide the logos and be seen better in the dark.
