Specification
-Shelter tape is a multi-layer acrylic protection tape which dissipates any impact energy on two axis.
-Each layer spreads loads vertically and horizontally, the impact energy decreases at each layer, protecting the bike frame.
-Perfect for carbon frames where the surface epoxy resin can be brittle and sensitive to impacts.
-The tape is clear, does not hide graphics and can be applied easily.
-Impact test video available for viewing below

Offers excellent protection from abraision and impact damage but rather pricey
The Shelter Frame Protection Tape Kit is light years ahead of those awful clear/carbon effect sticker sets that lifted on the first wash.
…set against the cost of refinishing a frameset, this bundle of assorted bike plasters seem very reasonable.
Perfect cushioning from chain-slap and stones and similarly sharp projectiles.
