|   Where to buy protective tape for Frame and Forks | boyd
Jul 13, 2002 6:55 PM | | I wrapped my previous bike's forks and frame in a thick transparent plastic tape that is a bit stretchy to bend round corners. After 3 years hard riding it looked perfect. Where can I buy that tape cheap in this country? The local motorcycle shop only had custom stuff for gas tanks with dorky decals and $25 for a couple of small sheets.
Thanks |

Another product I use for chain stay protection and cable rub is non skid all polymer tape used on boat decks and other water sports stuff. Don't buy the stuff with sand in it and get the all polymer tape which comes in clear, white, gray, or black. This stuff is much thicker than most plastic tape, comes in 1" and 2" widths, and is about $0.50 per foot at Marine supply stores.

Anyone know where to buy it? |

Jul 16, 2002 3:13 AM | | I bought ski saver for this a few years back. You can buy it at any ski shop. I used it to wrap the down tube on a klein pulse I owned a few years back.
I think it was over $15 for the stuff, so only buy it there if that's the only place you can find it. It helped alot for small rocks, but the big stuff still cut through on me. |
