Wow dude, that's pretty awesome. I've always just measure stuff and marked it on the back and precut it. But with your way, it's a lot easier around crazy curves and such. I've always only done easy flat areas because I wasn't aware of the existence of knife-less tape.

Been doing the same for years. Did my DJ bike 4 times, my Glory 3 and now my new DJ frame as well. Wrapping is awesome, takes about an hour and you are clean as a whistle. Plus, it costs close to nothing and you don't get mad when you hit it. Bike wraps are the way to go!

I wanna jist wrap the logis on my rims from spank, I have a YT Tues 2017 model and I put 26 inch wheels on it cause I'm a freerider, when I bought the rims spank didn't make an orange color for their logos, only yellow, I've only seen orange from Thomas Genon's rims in his Canyon Sender but I want those rims too, but I've never thought about wraping them, will it work?

@freerideranch 5 жыл бұрын

It should work. If you just want to change the color of the logos, I would cover the existing ones in the color of the rim, then have new ones cut with whatever vinyl you desire (e.g. orange) and apply those on top.

Cool video. I have a new Santa Cruz v10 and ive been trying to wrap it for a month now but feel screwing up. That tape trick is awesome, what exact tape is that? Does the vinyl need to be warm when you pull the string? I wish I could get some help with it but I live in Vancouver. again, awesome job

@freerideranch 6 жыл бұрын

The tape is 3M knifeless "finish line" tape. I just got it off Amazon. The vinyl does not need to be warm to pull the string. As a matter of fact, it's better not to have it warm as that will lead to more stretching in the vinyl. I wish I could help you out! I bet that v10 is going to look sick!

@jonathanbyrd12 7 ай бұрын

How did you get the wrap around that mid part? Because it's you know a circles over. Did you have to cut the vinyl to have it pushed against it or do you just get it really hot until it stretches over the weird shape?

Somewhat. It does well with small scratches, but bigger stuff, not so much. That's why I added some clear protective vinyl (basically frame protector) on the high wear areas.
