Hope the application process isn't a ball ache like the service from them. Is there perhaps a local installer in Midrand / Centurion that will do this or do I take the gamble and do it myself? I also bought a basic version of theirs from Cycle Lab that I guess I could practice with on my frame before attempting the install on the lady's frame. I helped my friend fit a full frame kit sometime last week. What a mission. Not all of the cutouts are pressed out cleanly, so we had the film folding onto itself as it got stuck when taking it off the paper and thus kinda ruining the look. Then some sheets had the excess film removed and others didnt. Other than that, it went on ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of the film is also suspect to me. Hoping it turns out ok. I really don't want to apply this again once the bike is built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thicker than some of the local stuff. nope...I tried with soapy water and wasted a piece...it does not stick with soapy water and the Bikeshield instructions say it must be applied dry... I just finished on my Epic Evo and it's looking good...let's see how it lasts.. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dicky DQ Posted December 30, 2022 Share And what about the weight implications, or is weight not a thing any more? Robbie Stewart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady Spin Posted December 30, 2022 Share 2 hours ago, Dicky DQ said: And what about the weight implications, or is weight not a thing any more? At least 2kg extra weight. Then again I would just scrape all the paint off my frame to begin with. Save even more weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise invisiframe. Only other one I would consider is AMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save even more weight. Really??? 2kg? Might as well then buy an older, decent, unwrapped frame that you arent too worried about getting damaged, which will probably be lighter overall...

OVERDRIVE Posted April 2, 2023 Share Can everyone suggesting someone also add a pic of before and after if its not too much trouble 😊 Or just after. Mate wants to wrap this, will it void warranty if new @Titan Racing Bikes? Unless there is another color available. dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me rida my bicycle Posted April 2, 2023 Share Armoured ride full custom wrap only thing the black part at the bottom bracket is starting to peel but they said I should just take it back and they sort it out. The rest you really need to look closely to see where it ends and the next part starts.
