Iv a new frame (1st in years) coming in about 10 days

I am going to tape up the swingarm as iv big feet and shimano am shoes so clip the swing arm when pedalling.

Toyed with the invisiframe kit, but at £50 its a lot of cash, anyone use it? is it tough? easy put on or a pain in the a....?

other than that is it just the 3m stuff on ebay and cut to size?

Get round to your local car wrapping company for offcuts, they may be free ...

New frame is big cost.£50 seems cheap to protect your pride and joy. They also do a number of different generic kits for hardtails as well as sheets of film.

Invisiframe kits are brilliant and easy to apply if you take your time.
I have tried many types of tape and this stuff just works .

There is a thread about this elsewhere.. No way I'd spend £50 on protective tape.

I have always used this:

With no issues.

I've invisiframe on a couple of bikes, and yeah it's really good, survived bikes being knocked over and crashed without going through to the paintwork. youv got got to REAlLY look to see it, even after a good 8 months of mucky riding. Would definitiley recommend.
