    LOVE IT!! For My Bike Frame Protection

    LOVE IT!! For My Bike Frame Protection
    I wanted to protect my new frame. I did not like the options through bike shops because of the brand logos or lack of being able to customize the size. I highly recommend ISC Racers Tape Surface Guard Tape 2" x 12' (HT2128). This 8mm thick stuff is just right, and it is outdoor grade. I had a hard time deciding on the thickness. The deciding factor was my call to the manufacturer who told me the thicker tape was less clear in appearance and the adhesion might be too strong (if/when removed). It could pull up paint or decals.I tried to find 3M's helicopter tape, but I learned it is special order with a minimum quantity of a case. Be careful if you think you found it. It might not be what you want, e.g. thickness, outdoor grade, etc.I did encounter a learning curve installing the tape. Tools I found useful were a hair dryer, slip spray solution (water and Dawn in a spray bottle), wet finger(s), patience, and careful planning. Be sure to work on a clean surface with a dust free environment.I found I liked the wet installation method best. It allowed me to play with the positioning or pull off the tape to redo it easily. Taking my time and smoothing out each section before adhering a bit more was crucial to an outstanding application. Keeping my fingers, the tape, and the surface wet with the slip solution kept finger prints off too. It also allowed me to work out imperfections, e.g. bubbles. The hair dryer came in handy to soften up the glue to remove the tape or work out bubbles. Be careful not to rub on the tape too hard while it is warm or it will stretch in that area. The heat is also enabled me to do the "form" fit over the rear derailleur by making the tape more pliable. I also rounded the corners on the pieces I installed. I thought this might make them less susceptible to coming off down the road with wear, cleaning, etc.The largest piece of tape I installed was over the top of my top tube. The most challenging piece was a single piece over a large portion of my rear derailleur. See pixs of both in the customer pixs section.UPDATE (12/7/12): My first call to the manufacturer was a wonderful experience. I just called a second time and had a very bad experience. The receptionist answered my call and was not willing to help - would not take a message, no advice on when to call back. Just said no one was available to help. Then she intentionally hung up on me! I revised my review down to 4 stars as a result.UPDATE (12/12/12): The manufacturer responded to my letting them know how badly their receptionist treated me. Then I was connected with someone that could help me with why I had called in the first place. Because of how the company handled the situation, I am revising my review back to 5 stars.

    I used this for frame protection on a carbon fiber road bike. It works great. Withstood chain suck much better than the OEM aluminum tape. Be careful because if it has prematurely adhered to something, especially to itself, your likely to have to cut a new piece. Tape has held up through cold, rai, multiple bike washes, etc and is still going strong. Definitely recommend this.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2016

    Perfect product, but a teensy bit pricey. I used it all over my brand-shiny-new bike frame, and it's since "disappeared." You can't even tell it's there, which is what I was going for. Although I don't have a crystal ball, it seems like it's going to stay put, too. It is glossy, so if you have a matte finish, it'll show, but it went on easily, bubbles were simple to prevent/remove.
    The easiest way to get it on a bicycle frame tube is to A) clean the tube with an appropriate solvent--I used rubbing alcohol. B) cut to length with the backing on it, and to shape if you need to avoid any features. C) Lay the center of the tape down the center of the tube tangentially, and work from one end to the other outward in "strips". The tape will begin to roll around the tube as you work from one end to the other, and you won't get bubbles. Work slowly, and you'll have great results.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very sticky, holding up well so far
    Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Installed some of this on my new carbon mountain bike frame and various bits to protect the finish and offer a little padding. The tape is thicker than I thought it would be but in a good way. It's very sticky and stays in place. You need to make sure whatever you're sticking it to is completely clean. Even a little dust will cause a bubble. I was able to get most pieces on my bike without any bubbles and it is nearly invisible. It already saved the finish on the top tube from me being careless that would have most surely scratched the paint. Just a slight scuff on the tape that has almost disappeared after a couple weeks. Seems to have almost a self-healing capability to it. Definitely recommend this to others. This 12ft roll is sufficient for a full suspension mountain bike. I have some left that I'll be apply to some other areas and doubling up the layers on the downtube to protect it from the gravel flying off the front tire.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great protection for bikepacking
    Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2021

    I got this for a bikepacking trip around White Rim Road in Canyonlands National Park. It's easy to apply: clean frame, spray with soapy water, and then the tape can be slid into just the right position before working out the excess water with your fingers. The tape has enough stretch to it that I was able to get it to sit flat around all the curves on the bike. After 100 miles of bouncing around with no suspension and sand everywhere, the tape was nowhere near wearing through. The tape sticks well enough to stay on but comes off clean when you're done with it. The shine blends in well with the gloss paint and it's hard to even see the tape without looking closely.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive way to protect your bike
    Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2021

    Just spent $$ on a full suspension mountain bike and I wanted to protect the paint. One roll of this helicopter take pretty much covered all the spots (a lot!!) on the frame I wanted to protect. It is VERY sticky and goes on clear. Practice on a small area to get the technique correct. Make sure your hands are clean: the sticky side will show your fingerprints if you touch it, but it's not too bad. You need to take your time when you apply it but the results are great. Also, there are some videos on-line of how to apply this kind of tape to bike frames. Watch those a few times to understand the process. You will not be disappointed.
