50mm x 1m, 2m, 3m Helicopter Tape or Bike Protection Tape - Bike Accessories to Protect Your MTB, eBike, Road Bike from Scratches, Stone and Gravel Damage - Self Adhesive Paint Protection Film

Very good product, slightly thicker than I wanted. With the right preparation this helicopter tape went on smoothly and securely.

Good quality and value is perfect. If fitted right this tapes works amazing. Durability of the tape is good as I’ve had it on my bike for keep few weeks now.

It works, it's quite thick so certainly has substantial protective properties & it sticks well, I'd definitely buy this again for protecting specific areas... But I personally I'm not blessed with the ability to stick things very well so id not attempt to do a whole bike again.... it's not difficult to use but if your not blessed with the ability to stick things well then don't expect this to be an easy process, its thickness is nice but it sticks to itself and creases (heat helps ALOT but once it creases/folds that's it.)I bought 3m - 50mm width which is enough to cover thin areas like chain stay, rear of seattube etc and probably fine on other skinny framed Road bikes but if you have oversized downtubes I'd recommend going for 150-300mm widths else you'll need to line up edges and it'll just not be a quality looking job.

Having just bought a lovely new carbon framed bike I was keen to protect as much of the paintwork and frame from scratches as I could. Turns out that the number of different frame protection tapes seems to outweigh the number of bikes on the market!I settled for this tape as the reviews were OKish, and it didn't cost a ridiculous amount of money. The OKish reviews were mostly dragged down by the difficulty in fitting (which wasn't an issue unique to this brand) so I thought it would be useful to explain how I fitted it.The tape itself seems very sturdy, around 2mm thick, and I still think is worth the money.Cleaning----------To fit, either do it as soon as you can with a new bike or if your bike has some miles on it give it a scrupulous clean ensuring that all mud, grease, oil, etc. is totally removed. Quite apart from making it harder to apply the tape whatever gunk is below the tape will stay there forever and annoy you every time you see it!Tools------1. Panel cleaner or isopropyl alcohol (optional, but recommended to remove the last dust & grease)2. Basin of clean water3. Scissors and very sharp knife4. Tool (if you need to remove bottle holder fittings, etc.)5. Squeedgy window thing (to force water and air out of the tape)6. HairdryerFitting-------1. Clean the frame, allow to dry, and then use panel cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to rub the parts that you will tape2. As much as possible, cut the tape to size and shape in advance. Make sure that there is as little overhang around edges as possible (ideally none)3. If the shape is too complex, break it down into multiple smaller shapes but *don't* try to overlap the tape4. Remove the backing paper above the basin of cold water, then dip the whole of the tape and your hands in the water5. Apply the tape from one end and carefully push it down as you lay the tape out6. Don't worry if it gets away from you - it's easy to lift and re-lay it while it's wet7. Once it's laid use the squeedgee window thing to force water and air bubbles out, both along the length of the tape and from the middle to the edges. As it gets drier you'll rely more on your fingers - keep them wet8. If you have any odd angles or bumps in the frame use a sharp knife to introduce some give into the tape9. Once it's fitted, leave 30 minutes then go over it with the hair dryer, heating up a few inches at a time and pushing it along its length and from the middle to the edges - do this a few times for each strip10. Leave it for 24 hoursThe tape has been on for a few days now and seems immovable - very glad I spent the small amount of money and not-so-small amount of time in fitting it.Recommended!

The tape is great, as long as you cut out the appropriate shapes without right angles (I would recomend cut the pieces in such way that all the corners are rounded), and clean the bike.I followed instructions that I read in one of the other comments, where I cut the tape into right shapes with the protective paper still on, I cleaned the bike with 50:50 solution of isopropanol/water and dired the bike with a dust-free microfibre cloth. Right before the application of the tape I sprayed the frame and the sticky side of the tape with filtered water containing just a drop of washing-up liquid. Water prevents the tape from sticking right away and allows to avoid air bubbles. The tape is pressed with fingers (a piece of cardboard or squeegee also works great) from the centre to the edges, making sure that any air bubbles are pushed to the edges of the tape. The wet edges of the tape may require you to press on them for ca. 5s but they will stick. Once the tape is on, it's really on. I applied it at room temperature, and did not play around with any hairdryers or heat guns. I got absolutely no air bubbles, and you cannot even tell that the tape is on the bike. Really happy with the product. The tape is also reasonably thick, which I really like. The whole application is not quick (takes a few hours), but the results are absolutely great. If you plan to protect most of the frame and the fork, I would definitely recommend to buy at least 3m.Edit: I added two photos of the tape that I applied to the down tube, after two months of constant riding. After two months the nothing is happening to the tape. Still looks absolutely great and does not peel. It already saved my frame from a number of scratches, and already at this point it more than paid for itself in paint work!

It is OK but not value for money as abit to pricey, durability is good but but to do the under frame of a bike you need to put 2 pieces side by side as the tape is not wide enough. Then that does not leave you much to do the rest of the bike .
