Ive got a Cotic Jeht frame awaiting building in the lovely dark blue. Im looking for a clear gloss protectiin tape for the top tube so that my gritty mtb shorts dont scour the paint and make it look matt.
I used to use biketart tape but they dont seem to sell it any more. Can anyone recommend me something?
Thanks
Ian
I went for HKT matt on my flaremax but they do gloss too. Does the job nicely and from a sheffield company.
If Invisiframe do a kit I would 100% recommend theirs. The best you’ll find and pretty easy to fit properly (you’d need to be rather ham-fisted to mess it up)
Invisiframe or Ridewrap are your best bet. As above, go for the 100% coverage option.
DYEDBro has always worked well for me.
Dyedbro for me too.
Thicker than invisiframe, although not as sculptured
Thanks all. I will check these out
I bought a nice big sheet of matte stuff from these people recently, to do littleginges new bike, for about £15 (including the delivery). More than enough to do a few frames very well but a lot more faff than a precut invisiframe kit as each panel takes a good bit of time to trial fit and shape. Seems decent quality so far.
Edit, forgot the link.
I use Gusset Tek Tape, it's just 3M helitape but you can get a decent size piece for a reasonable price and know it's genuine stuff.
I use Autoglym Super Resin on my top tube to polish out the scratches.
Not sure how thick the paint is though...
