Small Section of Frame Protection - Clear

[love2fly]

Hi there

On my MTB my shifter (RHS) knocks against my toptube when I turn the bars 90⁰ when loading my bike in the car.

I'm on the lookout for a tiny, R2 coin sized bit of frame protection clear, but quite thick, like the Birzman stuff I've used on my frame 4 years ago and wishing I still had some left....any ideas?

If all else fails I might just flgo this route at CL....

I would go to a place that does automotive wrapping and ask for a small piece of offcut stonechip protective film. They should have lots laying around or in their wastebins.

I am talking about something like this: Grafityp Stonechip Protection Film | Execellent Resistant Against UV-Light

Clear Gorilla tape.? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm not sure that auto wrapping will be thick enough as I've used that in the past and thus my liking the Birzman bike protection material, unfortunately I've used all of mine and moved house and probably lost the last small prices in the clean out.

The Birzman material almost has a rubbery-ness about it that I like as it can absorb s small knock.

Gorilla tape maybe ditto. Cost wise the Marvel stuff is not much more so that's where I'm headed I guess.

Thanks so far 💪

I was in one of those Chinese shops called Value. They were selling a protective tape (I think meant for cars) for R25. It was very thick. I am sure it would serve your purpose

I am not sure in what area you are in, but I have some clear PCV, I can give you a piece and you can layer it, I am on the east rand, Boksburg.

Ive bought the Marvel stuff from CL. The Birzman is nice, almost rubbery but this should work.
