Holla,

I am putting frame protection on a new full sus frame.

So far, I've done:

Downtube
Rear and sides of seat tube.
By the head tube.
Seat stays
Will do chain stays and put on a Stfu on.

I've still got a bit more tape left. Thoughts?

I was thinking top tube and chainstay yoke.

Am other ideas?

Inside of the chainstays where the tyre passes, depends on clearance and the type/amount of mud you ride in.

Inside of the seatstays where the chain gets close.

Any areas your car/uplift rack clamps, rests, or otherwise comes in contact with.

Any areas where accessories such as mudguards or bags contact.

Any areas where moving cables/hoses contact.

Not "frame", but - forks, crank arms, crank boots.
