I thought it turned out pretty good. The white sure looks nice, but after a few rides, I could see it was going to wear pretty fast. This took less than 5 minutes per side, so if I have to replace it even once a month during the season, that's ok with me. It's 3M vinyl film, the same stuff used to wrap cars and was super easy to work with. We'll see how tough it is.
I think it looks pretty good. 3M is pretty good stuff. I used to use the 3M clear stuff on my frame to keep the paint from wearing off from the boots but then I remembered that bikes were meant to get dirty and worn. That carbon looks pretty sweet through.
Where did you get it? I think it looks great, I have 4-5 inches of bare metal on my frame on both sides from boot rub.
Thanks. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/12-x36-Genui...es&hash=item337d9b7635&vxp=mtr#ht_5038wt_1170 The stuff must be easy to work with because even I was able to do it.
Just an update. I've put about 4 hrs on the bike since, and see only minor abrasion on the vinyl. It looks like I'll probably get at least a half season, and maybe a full one out of it.
Im going to try this stuff out, I used to put clear 3m stuff on my frame but I could wear a hole in it in one race. Maybe this is a little more durable.
Looks good to me! going to give it a try. Where did you get those rubber frame protectors below the wrap you put on? I was going to try to see if I can modify the plastic KTM ones to fit, but that rubber would be even better.
on your shock is that a standard placment for the oil bottle or is it positionable? i like the clearance
