I followed the instructions exactly, but still could not get the wrap to stick without bubbles forming. The quality of the material is excellent, and I have no doubt it will protect my paint, but in retrospect I should have used an experienced professional to apply the wrap. I only put on a few pieces, and will leave them on since the protection is the main reason for using this. If you are skilled at placing decals, then this is a great product. If not, it still does a great job, but it will not be invisible - you will see the bubbles. This is not to ding the product itself, it's just that it is difficult to apply perfectly, especially the larger pieces.
Not inexpensive to purchase, but it does come with a lot of pre-cut material to cover as much of your bike frame that you want to cover and with some extra pieces. I wanted to mainly cover the underside of my new carbon bike's down tube to protect the paint. It was easy to apply the piece for the down tube - just follow the instructions. If I did it again I would cut the piece before applying it so that it didn't cover as much of the sides of the down tube as it does
My new road ebike didn't come with a kickstand, but with its heft, it was a pain not to have one, as there's not always a good place to lean it, and I didn't particularly want to have to lie it on the ground. My husband found this one and installed it. I was worried it might be too light-duty for my ebike, which weighs upward of 40 lbs, but no problem! No wobbles even. It works perfectly and is so much more convenient. I don't care if a kickstand is dorky; it does the job!
I know some will say this product is dumb because you have a bike and actually ride it hard, it will get scratched at some point. However, this was a GREAT purchase for my new carbon gravel frame. I searched every other option because I thought I could find something better and cheaper and ended up buying this in the end. It's a great product, very easy to install, and you can barely see it on my new Alchemy Lycos frame. Cleans easy and was actually quite fun to put on. Lots of options for install and would put on my next new bike too.
