wow, much thicker then I would expect. Buy stock in this product now, if both RonC and martin endorse it, they will be sold out very quickly.

how do you like it Ron? initial impressions?

 

[MST.ESQ]

Chamfer the edge so it blends better. Or does cutting the tape case it to be more opaque?

 

[RonC]

Tape it not bad dealing with.

Does not look to bad just do not like the hard edge.
Tape does not like tight curves and you need to take your time. Do a little bit at a time rolled it on the bike. I used a roller to apply the tape and roll it out. Can not tell how it will clean up until I get it on the road. So far the tape adheres nicely and is pliable.

Lets see how it holds up over night.....:hmmm:

Why do you need this on a road bike again?

BTW, a blow dryer will help get on better

I don't like that u can see it. I thought the point of these guards is to protect the frame but be invisible.

The crankskins brand stuff is thinner and less noticeable. You can also go on the internet and by whatever thickness you want by the roll.
