Extended Product Information
FAQs
Will this protect against heavy impact?
It is designed to absorb stone chips and scuffs. While it offers excellent surface protection, it cannot prevent damage from extreme high-velocity direct impacts.
Can I use this on carbon fiber cranks?
Yes, the adhesive is safe for use on both alloy and carbon fiber components.
Does the tape turn yellow over time?
The material is designed to be crystal clear and resistant to UV damage, keeping it clear for a significant duration under normal use.
How do I remove the tape without leaving residue?
Gently heat the film with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive, then peel slowly. Any remaining adhesive can be removed with a mild citrus-based cleaner.
Are these stickers universal?
They are designed to fit the majority of MTB and e-MTB fork lowers and standard crank arm profiles.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles trapped under the film
Use a pin to prick the bubble and carefully press the air out, or gently lift the edge and re-apply.
Film edges lifting
Ensure the surface was fully degreased; use a heat gun or hair dryer on low setting to warm the adhesive for better bonding.
Motocross-grade durability protects against deep scuffs
Easy to apply and remove without damaging factory paint
Compatible with a wide range of standard MTB and e-MTB setups
Cons
Requires a clean, dry surface for optimal adhesion
Installation requires patience to avoid air bubbles on curved surfaces
Specific to fork and crank coverage; does not cover frame tubes
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Clean: Thoroughly degrease the fork legs and crank arms using isopropyl alcohol to ensure no oils or dirt remain.
Dry: Wipe the area completely dry with a lint-free cloth.
Apply: Peel the backing and align the tape. Use a squeegee or soft cloth to smooth the tape from the center outward to push out air bubbles.
Cure: Allow the adhesive to set for at least 24 hours before riding, especially in wet or muddy conditions.
Maintenance: Clean the bike as usual with mild detergent. Avoid high-pressure washers directed specifically at the edges of the film, as this may cause the adhesive to lift over time.
