Help protect your bike’s finish from everyday scuffs and rubbing, or refresh its appearance with a decal kit. Choose frame protection for the areas that need coverage and graphics that suit your bike, checking the fit and intended use of each product.
Why Choose Frame Protection?
Cables, luggage straps and regular riding can leave marks on exposed paintwork. Suitable protective patches or film add a barrier at contact points, while chainstay protection helps with wear from chain slap. Decal kits offer a way to change the look of your bike or refresh graphics; check whether a kit is decorative, protective or designed to do both.
What to Look for in Frame Protection and Decal Kits
- Coverage and fit: identify the areas you want to cover and compare the kit’s shapes and dimensions with your frame. For model-specific pieces, check the bike model, size and year.
- Finish and appearance: consider clear protection if you want the paintwork to show through, or coloured graphics for a different look. Match gloss or matt finishes where options are available.
- Application: check suitability for your frame’s finish and follow the preparation, fitting and removal instructions. Take time to clean and dry the surface as directed before positioning adhesive pieces.
Using frame bags? Check where straps touch the frame and keep those areas free of trapped grit. Protection works best alongside a secure fit and regular cleaning.
