New bike arrived at the weekend lovely shiny and carbon
there are frame protectors at the head tube and the
underside of the down tube what if anything should I use
on the rest of it?I’ve read about Helitape but never used it
is it worth it ?
never been to precious about my bikes before it is a MTB
after all as long as it runs smoothly the scratches and stone chips are inevitable
but with this being carbon I don’t want to take
any chances …so what do the good people of forum think?

Hi I used a pack called bike sheiks all pre cut & easy to fit.Or pop onto ‘bike tart ‘ website they have some good self cut rolls on there.Once you got it spend time getting it right as I missed a few spots.

This stuff http://shop.upgradebikes.co.uk/Catalogue/Frame-Protection/Shelter-Tape-Kit is really good, have some on my Mojo SL 🙂

I’ve bought this frame saver tape from Wiggle and it’s really great quality.

The tape from both JRA and Biketart are spot on as well.

I also use Framewrap around the chainstays of my bikes. It works great and stops damage from the chain or rocks and stones that get thrown up.

Use a hairdryer to gently warm the tape up and it’ll go on easier.
