Protect Your Bike With Effetto Mariposa Frame Protector Tape
Shelter Road is a transparent shock and scratch-resistant adhesive tape. It provides reliable protection to the carbon-fibre or metal structures it's applied to. "Road" is perfect for lighter off-road riding or gravel/cyclocross applications. This 80mm wide tape comes in a 5 metre length roll.
How It Works
Shelter Road has a 0.2 mm scratch-resistant upper layer with a gummy (viscoelastic) 0.4 mm layer underneath. This unique, composite construction allows the tape to spread impact energy within its structure, without transmitting it. For lighter off-road riding or gravel/cyclocross applications Shelter Road Tape (at 0.6 mm thick) is best.
Lightweight Protection
Effetto Mariposa Frame Protector Tape is extremely lightweight with a weight of 0.077g per square centimetre.
No Special Tools Or Procedures Required
Adhesion of Shelter Tape is defined as "semi-structural", so very strong but not permanent. After being applied, it takes 8 hours before developing its optimal bonding. After that, normal bicycle use or washing won't affect it, but it can be removed - if needed - without damaging the underlying paint. Application of Shelter doesn't require special tools or procedures, just normal skills, and patience.
Easy To Apply
1. After removing cables or other interfering elements, clean the area where you want to apply Shelter with alcohol and a clean cloth. Remove traces of dried-up alcohol with another clean, dry cloth.
2. Take the suitable pre-cut Shelter element or cut a custom-made Shelter piece, without removing the backing paper.
3. Make sure the element fits the area you want to protect and make sure your hands are clean. After that, completely remove the backing paper, freeing the adhesive surface (try not to touch the adhesive surface with your fingers, or do it as little as possible: being transparent, fingerprints might show).
4. Gently position Shelter on the area to protect, without applying pressure and without stretching the material. Reposition it if necessary, until it sits exactly where you want it. At this point, start applying even pressure, working from the centre and going towards the sides, to avoid trapping air bubbles and making wrinkles.
5. Work on the whole Shelter element to make it stick to the surface. Insist on the edges and on tight curved sections to make sure the adhesion is even.
Post-Application Notes
You can use your bicycle immediately after applying Shelter, remembering that the full adhesion is achieved after 8 hours. To remove Shelter, peel it off slowly, making sure not to de-laminate it. Doing so, Shelter won't leave any trace of glue on the surface it was formerly attached to, even after several years.
