What are the Pace Carbob thingies like, any ohter good VFM products that have been tried?

i use insulaion tape in my fav. colour red or black it works as well and really cheap


priss

Three good ones:

Duck Power Tape £4:99 big roll - very sticky, very hardwearing

Sellotape all weather outdoor tape £4.00 ish in a clear/greenish colour - ditto

Carbon fibre by MOTRAX from motorbike shops
A4 sheet £9.95 in real carbon, carbon/kevlar. also make strips & dots (10 of each) for £6.00
Both are better quality than Pace ones, and you get more for your money. they have REALLY strong adhesive (maybe a bit too sticky) although it can be a bit prone to curling off if put on a tightly curved surface, as do the pace ones.

Pace ones never stick more than a month or so in my experience. I bought some no name clear ones from the LBS for £3 and they work better. I'd also heard good things about the MOTRAX stuff but never tried it.

i jus use normal sellotape or the spare clear bits off sticker sets

spiwrap on the cables has always worked for me,sticking things to the frame isn't stopping the abrasion and almost impossible on tube junctions.

Spare clear sticky off sticker sets is free; otherwise I would agree with electrical tape.

The Motrax stuff is great, one A4 sheet should last a lifetime. It seems immensely tough. The sheets are better than the precut shapes IMHO since you can cut it to just the right size. When I bought mine earlier this year it was £4.99/sheet.

electrical tape is great, dirt cheap and quite durable - just make sure to clean the frame first with a bit of washing up liquid to get the grease off.

or proper frame patch sheets from moto-x shops, much cheaper than Pace, etc.

The Pace Carbon Armour looks really good and, if you can get it to stay put, works really well...but duct tape is much cheaper and does the job just as well....

I tried these and after one wet ride, and they fell off. Pace carbon armour is the biggest scam of the universe.

you need to spend more money Mr. Lee.

TA - I might try the Motrax stuff :)
