From Australia took your advice and did my whole frame on my knew E bike ! With helicopter tape ! One thing if you have air bubbles use tip of needle and hair dryer to get it out little trick NOT MANY TELL YOU ! Thanks mate not many that care to tell you swat in the bike shops here !
This would be an awesome idea for wheelchair frames! This is what I'm looking at, wheelchair frame protection as I don't want to ruin the paintwork getting it in and out the car.
To my BMC TE01 frame I used Solidworks (you can use Autocad) to draw some shapes on a A3 paper and taking some measures on the frame at the same time. When completed I printed in true scale and cut those shapes and then used tape to secure them in place and check if it was ok! Then printed another sheet and with a marker I drawed the outlines of the shapes into the 3M Scotchguard A3 protective film and cut it. Worked out so good!
Thank you a million for this video. I got a brand new full carbon cross bike and I'm gonna use it every day for my job. I was very worried about its beautiful orange body. I searched the whole city for some covering tapes and now, you gave me the clues. Cheers really.
I find that after 24 hours or so you can get rid of any trapped air bubbles by pricking them with a pin or similar and then spray the hole with a 50/50 water/isopropyl alcohol mix and rubbing the bubble with a rubber wedge, or even a Bic pen lid, will really get rid of the bubbles. I’d also recommend going around the entire edge of the decal to ensure that i is really adhered to the frame. This is especially effective on Invisframe.
I still think 'Hey, let's make my bike ugly so that the next person can enjoy how pretty it is.' I say why don't I enjoy how pretty it is and the heck with the next owner. Plus battle scars come with memories!
This is great for resell value my brand new bike with only an hour of riding already has the paint scratched from the cables running down the down tube.
It ain't a wedding dress..It's a mountain bike!!!! Let that bad boy get dirty and dinged up..shows that you ride it they way it's suppose to be ridden..HARD!!! Carry on , love the channel
Getting this on my new bike that ive been saving for currently i have a appolo evade with disk brakes but its slowly breaking so im gonna get a btwin 520 so that i have a smoother ride when im out and about on my paperound and going on light offroad rides.😁
warmer feel to a carbon frame? it may feel warmer to your hand, but it's not going to feel warmer to an inanimate sticker! if the bike is at room temperature, it's at room temperature whether it is carbon or aluminium. The only difference that might affect adhesion is the surface treatment, ie whether it's glossy or matt.
Solid advice and tips. The only thing I’d do differently is to save the most cosmetically visible/critical stuff for last, so I can get the hang of working with the material first.
What to do when there are already some scars in the paint job? I have a black Aluminium GT Fury Team 2017 and it has some scars (only the paint job) on the upper tube.
Anyone else have a negative experience with the 3M mastic tape where both sides a pretty tacky and while it does quiet things down and protects the frame, it collects a lot of dirt and debris?
You should do a 26 inch full suspension mtb bike giveaway. Mostly because I have crappy Walmart bike that doesn't even have a thread less head tube so I'm afraid to go on trails and the trails are to far away. The only berm in the area is in a tiny pump track my local bike shop so I would really like the bike to ride trails.
just go to a moto shop and ask for it, i got 5 x A4 sheets of it for free. They have stacks of it, it comes free when they order boots or protective gear.
If don't have a heatgun or hairdryer can i use the sun light in 5-10 minutes to heat the alloy frame before i apply the isoprophyl alcohol and apply the sticker?
You mention the 3M self amalgamating tape for the chainstays, but doesn't this product only stick to itself. How did you get it to stick the the frame without overlapping it on itself. Are you using the 3M 2228 or 3M 2229 Mastic?
This is my first road ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and I have taken it out a handful of times and so far it is exceeding all of my expectations. I didn’t want to break the bank on a first bike and the herd is a great option for getting a fast bike with reliable components. I plan on riding this bike for many years to come. Thank you Sava!
I'm getting my first full suspension when they come in stock (a marin rift zone 29) (coming from a decent hardtail) and i want to keep the frame in good shape. I saw some protection tape for cars that looks like it's pretty much the same think, will this work? Thanks
I always buy black bikes. That way I can fix any scratches with a Sharpie.
Know Whey ohhhhhh what a great idea
i just use black duct tape
@@Luca-ft1kv I buy them grey. Gray duct tape is cheaper and more common.
@@DjZorlag too much trouble, just cable tie old inner tubes over the whole bike. :-)
@@Kev5565 Nah, I prefer the tubeless setup. :)
when paying 2 grand plus, bikes should come with frame protection as standard and on all carbon models regardless of price.
Gary Gilbert most do ..
Yeeessss!!!!🤙🤙
They kinda do
True
Totally agree 👍 2Gram & rest????

Just when I thought I have purchased everything I ever needed for mountain biking!

Neils bike is beautiful 😮
Thomas Ashcroft I agree completely!!
the kids will all be dumping their canyon strives and buying megas now

John Graham true
Some people like to update thier bikes often so having it in mint condition makes it easier to offload
Not true. Memories come with scars. ;)
I covered all my before the first ride! it took me hours triming and sticking the film, but it was easy with the bike perfect clean
This is great for resell value my brand new bike with only an hour of riding already has the paint scratched from the cables running down the down tube.

Carry on , love the channel
Your half right but you got to remember that some of these bikes cost £5000+ so people gonna be scared to scratch it
@@fastemx and when you re-sell you will get a lot more for it if it is in good condition.
I like my bike to look worn, I think it gives character and shows how I like to ride, or not ride in case of crashes!
Cuts resale value though.
Cutting round corners is great advice - thanks.
I'd recommend using latex gloves doing this, keeps the oil from your hands off the frame/sticker kit!
I think you do not have to wear rubber gloves
You can wash your hand before apply this film
I'm so glad you're not using Ride Wrap! I knew there had to be any easier way to get this done
I wish my girlfriend would know me as good as Doody knows Neil
I just want a full length video of Doddy doing a full bike service.

Great video! Nice and informative , straight to the point and excellent explanation of why the protection tape was being fitted where it was.
Solid advice and tips. The only thing I’d do differently is to save the most cosmetically visible/critical stuff for last, so I can get the hang of working with the material first.
Crank boots are great as well!
0:43 CABLE TIES! Ever since Doddy's cable tie hacks video, I crack up every time he says "Cable ties."
Well, this is something I was thinking about. Now I do have good guide, so tomorrow my bike will be pimped out. Thank you Doody.
I'm so glad you guys made this video, I've recently bought a roll of helicopter tape and was wondering where to put it.
That headtube tape placement was awesome
So when's Neil doing something nice for Doddy on his bike?
im glad you are doing one of this... cos it always seems like there is more to be covered,,
good man doddy, you bring a lot of technical skill to the channel.
I need your paint job video on how to fix scratches!!!!!
Also put the mastic tape on the underside of the upper triangle where the chain clicks slap.
What to do when there are already some scars in the paint job? I have a black Aluminium GT Fury Team 2017 and it has some scars (only the paint job) on the upper tube.
On the 3M 8 mil it works and forms best by using a hair dryer or heat gun as you conform it to the curves of the bike.
Really regret not knowing this when i first got my bike
What about removing the frame protection? I heard it can lift the paint.
Hair dryer
@@Tom-nn9ey or a heatgun
I think Neil will need a bit more than a few stickers to protect his bike from scratches.
I just watched trans world sports that featured Martin and it was amazing
How many takes did this video have? No one can do this first time!!
Something for the GMBN Bloopers 3? :D
Neil's bike is gorgeous
Anyone else have a negative experience with the 3M mastic tape where both sides a pretty tacky and while it does quiet things down and protects the frame, it collects a lot of dirt and debris?
Nice Oakley time piece 🤙🏼😎💪🏼
Can you guys please do a review on that bike, the Nukeproof Mega 275. thanks in advance, I have been eyeing about this bike.
I love the battle scars on my bike !
Just did my bike helio tape works so good cant see it well unless u got a few bubbles which it almost impossible too not have one lol
Very helpful as always!😃
Absolutely brilliant
This is awesome
I loved the last one
I'm gonna get it
This won’t damage paint when you remove? Thanks
CABLE TIES!!
Does dirt and dust not stick to that mastic tape?
Cranks!!!
Back of the seattube aswell.
You say cheap. Can you post a link to cheap, genuine 3M mastic tape please?
look on amazon
Wondering if dc fix will do the same job, probably way cheaper per m2
Probably more important as far as chain slap goes might be the seatstay above the cassette
Useful & informative, thanks.

Perfect timeing just about to get a pran new bike soon
I WATCHED LAST WEEK BUT I WAS LAZY SO IM TOO LATE. serves me right huhuhu!
Does it loose its adhesive after time?
Is it true that helicopter tape makes you jump higher?
just go to a moto shop and ask for it, i got 5 x A4 sheets of it for free. They have stacks of it, it comes free when they order boots or protective gear.
How in the world did you manage to miss the most-often nicked area of the bike... the bottom of the bottom bracket and underneath the down tube?
You can use those rubber things for your cables like $4 for like 10
If don't have a heatgun or hairdryer can i use the sun light in 5-10 minutes to heat the alloy frame before i apply the isoprophyl alcohol and apply the sticker?
How much is that frame protector cost?any links where to buy it?thank you so much and more power to you guys!
Can I put that on top of decals?
diggin toons

Go for bathroom anti slip tapes from 3M
What’s Neil’s favourite song?
Shit wish I live near me ur good at it I hate graphics always have since my motocross days kits are worse too me
Easy, Cable ties!
When it’s time to take it off does it ruin the paint or if there’s any stickers on the bike does appeal them off to

Well done doddy when you come to Australia look me up and I'll let you patch my bike up good stuff YouYangs Australia 👀🇦🇺👀
Before do frame protection, should the bicycle to be coated?
Two questions
1) can we use this method to apply stickers?
2) can we use the protection thing over stickers?
Yes and yes
what if you have a matte frame ?
My red vitus nucleus came with nail polish bottle, that's how I do it
can i apply protection on the surface with small pain chips?
Hi sorry you can tell the diameter the seatpost this bike 30.9 iu 31.6
Will that downtube protector at the bottom fir the voodoo Zobop 2020 model
Which kind of alcohol did you use? I didn't really understand.
what front sprocket size should i choose if i have a 8speed32T to 10 T cassette i have a 1x
Yo I have some hard scuffs on my bike cuz the chain came with contact in the metal under it so is there anyway to remove them?
Why do we have to do that? Why wont frame manufacturers do that instead before they releaese the bike in market?
Louie Patrick Aguila some do
rubber mastic tape doesn't have an adhesive? any help
Helpful thanks
Hope you said “It’s a wrap!” when you finished filming 😀
#askgmbn do you think you could do a review on the giant stance 2?
Thank that was very useful
Nice bike
Unlucky crash? Doddy, I've seen you go around that corner 471 times, and it seems pretty consistent to me...
Would the ppf rip the stickers off?
Nice vid thanks
Is that just black electrical tape you used on the chain stays?
It's a self-fusing rubber mastic tape. Sold under various names including 3M 2228.
I'm getting my first full suspension when they come in stock (a marin rift zone 29) (coming from a decent hardtail) and i want to keep the frame in good shape. I saw some protection tape for cars that looks like it's pretty much the same think, will this work? Thanks
yes you should be good most likely
