FAQs

Can I remove this protector if I decide to sell my bike?

Yes, but it may require a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the adhesive. Use a gentle adhesive remover to clean off any remaining residue.

Is this protector compatible with carbon fiber frames?

Yes, the adhesive is safe for use on both carbon fiber and aluminum frames.

How many pieces are included?

The kit includes one large main panel (305mm x 64mm) and three smaller extender pieces.

Will the carbon-leather material fade in the sun?

The material is designed to be weather-resistant, but like all materials, extreme, prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays may cause slight dulling over several years.

Can I cut the material to a different shape?

Absolutely. The material can be trimmed with sharp scissors or a hobby knife to fit unique frame curves or specific cable routing paths.

Troubleshooting

Protector edges lifting after installation

The frame surface likely had residue during application. Clean the area with isopropyl alcohol and apply a new piece or secure with a small amount of frame-safe adhesive.

Air bubbles trapped under the material

Use a small needle to prick the bubble and carefully press the air out, or use a hair dryer to gently warm the material, making it more pliable to smooth out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely durable construction resists deep gouges and scrapes
Includes additional extenders for versatile coverage options
Strong adhesive ensures the protector remains in place during rough rides
Easy to trim or customize for non-standard frame shapes

Cons

Requires careful surface preparation for maximum adhesion
Adhesive is permanent and may require solvents to remove if replaced later
Carbon-leather texture is not as sleek as thin TPU films

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward but requires patience to ensure long-term durability:

Clean: Use isopropyl alcohol to wipe the frame surface completely free of grease, dirt, and wax. This is the most critical step.
Dry: Allow the frame to dry completely before attempting to apply the protector.
Measure: Hold the protector up to the frame to determine where you need extra coverage, then use the provided extenders to fill gaps.
Apply: Peel the backing and apply from one end to the other, using a cloth to press out any air bubbles as you go.
Cure: Wait at least 24 hours before riding to allow the adhesive to fully bond with the frame material.

To clean, simply wipe the protector with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using high-pressure power washers directly at the edges of the protector to prevent lifting.
