IDK about you but ~20-30g of material to protect it from getting a scratch will ultimately give me more power to ride more confidently. I've had countless expensive bikes and the moment they get scratched, I can't shake that feeling of imperfection off and think about it from time to time during a ride let alone a normal day at home. I'm a weight weenie so I wouldn't have wrapped the whole bike, I usually only wrap the EXPOSED sides of forks, chainstay + rear axle surrounding, and downtube. Exposed = half the weight. Less parts = half of the half. That's like
@@BenSuzi1980 LOL!? I wrapped an entire Porsche Cayenne and it weighed 1400g including door jams. The amount of wrap needed for high contact areas as I mentioned is less than a single door, maybe half of a door. Quick math: 1400g/2 = 700g for half the car incl trunk and hood. 700/4 = 175g for quarter of the car. We need another quarter of that AT MOST = ~44g
Nice work! I did this with my bike too. For those of you hating on this, I hope you enjoy spending 12K on a new bike every few years. Mine is 4 years old and looks like it’s straight out of the store.
Aren't you affraid when cutting the foil so close to the frame ? That you slip and scratch te frame ?
what wrap did you use? Looks nice and I have an Ultimate i've been thinking about wrapping
Shocking
I feel like you just canceled out all the weight savings of the CFR model.

Is it only water or is something added?

Removing the cranks and some other parts would've helped
