DIY Frame Tape

Hi all,
A quick DIY solution here for those who's boot's might be scuffing your frame.
(Mine were, right through the paint to bare metal on the right upper frame.)
I love my TE310, but as all those with Italian Huskies will know, it's getting harder and harder to find hard parts and having to pay around AUD$100 (incl postage from the US) for a couple of pieces of frame tape was not an option.
Enter Croc Grip Soft textured Vinyl. (Available from Bunnings. Cheap at about $8)
Touch up paint and clean the frame, Cut Vinyl sheet to desired shape, peel off the backing and voila. Nearly as good as a bought one!
Rode 24 hours after applying and they've held up well, no lifting and not worn through.....yet. haha!

Looks lie a bought one-good work-will have a go on my bikes.

Thanks for sharing

looks good to me. Checking to see if they make it in white for ly 2010 Wr

I like it, nice finding. I searched for something similar here in Spain and could not find anything but the typical Grip Tape that is more like 60 grit sandpaper. I tried on of these tapes but the adhesive was pretty bad and only lasted about one or two rides.

Yeah Hurky, the sandpaper stuff could be tough on your boots too I'd say.

This vinyl is soft textured. Soft, but grippy.

I nicked the missus hair dryer for an hour or so and heated up the frame before applying. Plus gave the edges a warm and solid push all round once applied. (Seems to work for graphics, so fingers crossed, but not much you can do if the adhesive is bad)

We'll see how these go after a few rides.

been using that for a couple of years- if well applied it can stay on for a while

The 3m stuff lasted me 5 years
