Product Information

Full details

The Dyedbro Gravel Frame Protection kit is designed for gravel, bikepacking, and road cyclists who want to maintain their bike's finish against the abrasive wear of frame bags, gear straps, and trail debris. By providing a comprehensive shield for vulnerable tubes, it ensures your frame stays pristine during long-distance tours or mixed-surface rides, though successful application requires patience and a clean environment to prevent trapped air bubbles.

FAQs

Can I remove the stickers without damaging the paint?

Yes, they are designed to be removed without damaging factory paint. Use a hairdryer to gently warm the vinyl to loosen the glue.

Is this kit compatible with mountain bikes?

While designed for gravel and road geometries, it can be used on mountain bikes, though some pieces may need to be trimmed to fit specific frame shapes.

How long should I wait after installation before riding?

It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours to ensure the adhesive has fully cured to the frame.

Will these stickers turn yellow over time?

The material is designed to be durable, but like any clear adhesive product, prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays can eventually cause slight discoloration.

Can I cut the pieces if they are too long?

Yes, you can use sharp scissors or a clean utility knife to trim the pieces to match your bike's specific geometry.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles trapped under the sticker

Use a small needle to prick the bubble gently and then press the air out toward the hole.

Edges are peeling after cleaning

Clean the edges with alcohol, apply gentle heat, and press firmly until the adhesive resets.

Sticker won't stick to the frame

Ensure the surface was cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and that no residue from cleaning sprays remains.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects against common paint damage from bikepacking bags
  • Universal design fits most drop-bar and adventure bike geometries
  • High-quality, durable vinyl that resists tearing and peeling
  • Includes essential protection for both frame and fork
  • Clear finish maintains the original aesthetic of your bike frame

Cons

  • Requires a very clean and dry surface for optimal adhesion
  • Application can be time-consuming to avoid wrinkles
  • Large pieces may require trimming on specific unique frame shapes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, start by thoroughly degreasing your bike frame with isopropyl alcohol to remove all wax, oil, and dirt. Ensure the frame is completely dry. Peel the vinyl piece from its backing, align it carefully with the target area, and press down firmly, starting from the center and working outward to push out any trapped air. Use a hair dryer or heat gun on a low setting to gently warm the vinyl; this increases flexibility and improves adhesive bonding on curved tubes. For care, avoid using high-pressure washers directly against the edges of the stickers, as this can weaken the adhesive over time. If a edge begins to lift, clean the area and re-apply heat to reactivate the adhesive.
