FAQs
What are the stickers made of?
The stickers are made with 3M reflective material, offering high visibility when light shines on them.
How many stickers are included?
The kit includes 23 stickers in 7 different shapes and sizes.
Can I put these on my bike frame?
Yes, they are suitable for application on bike frames, as well as helmets, shoes, and rims.
Will these stickers be visible during the day?
No, the stickers are black and monochromatic, designed to be unnoticeable in daylight. Their reflective properties are only visible when light hits them in dark conditions.
How do I clean the stickers?
Gently wipe them with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing.
Are these stickers waterproof?
Yes, they are designed to withstand normal cycling conditions, including rain and splashes.
Can I remove the stickers later?
Yes, they can generally be removed. Gentle heat from a hairdryer might assist in removal and reduce adhesive residue.
Troubleshooting
Stickers not adhering well
Ensure the application surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before applying. Press firmly and evenly, paying attention to edges.
Air bubbles under the sticker
Try to lift the edge of the sticker gently and reapply, smoothing out the air. For small bubbles, a pinprick may release the air.
Reflective effect seems weak
Ensure the stickers are clean and free from dirt or grime. The effectiveness relies on a direct light source; test under conditions similar to night riding.
Stickers peeling off after time
The surface may not have been properly prepared, or the sticker might be applied to a flexible or textured area. Reapply with heat from a hairdryer on a low setting for better adhesion, then press firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean Surfaces: Ensure the surfaces where you intend to apply the stickers (bike frame, helmet, shoes) are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust.
- Peel and Apply: Carefully peel each sticker from its backing.
- Position: Place the sticker onto the desired area, applying firm, even pressure from the center outwards to avoid air bubbles.
- Trimming: For curved surfaces, you may need to gently stretch or slightly trim the sticker (use caution not to cut through the reflective layer).
Compatibility:
The MultiVis stickers are designed for versatility and can adhere to most smooth, non-porous surfaces including:
- Bicycle frames (metal, carbon, plastic)
- Helmets
- Cycling shoes
- Rims
- Other hard gear components
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the stickers gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the reflective coating.
- Durability: The stickers are designed to withstand typical cycling conditions. However, repeated high-pressure washing or excessive abrasion may reduce their adhesion and reflective properties over time.
