Has anyone wrapped their Strive CF black in Invisiframe?
Did you go for Gloss or Matte?
I'm just trying to figure out what looks better

Received my bike today. Delighted with it. There are some blemishes on the top tube where the wheels etc were wrapped to it. Is this normal?

I used some 3M heli tape in gloss. If I was choosing again I would go with matte instead.

Mine is invisiframed in matte, defiantly looks a lot better than gloss would and it isn't too noticeable as it looks the same as the unprotected parts of the frame.

I m using one in matte. And if u do a good job in sticking it, you will not notice there is actually a later of protection.

Any tips or advice for fitting it or does the video cover everything?

I found the hardest part was getting the round bolt cap out of the frame. Can't really offer any advice though, it was just a bitch of a job.
Thanks, I'll look out for that. Must watch the video and make sure I've all the tools for the job.

I've done it twice now and it's fine if you follow the video. It is a pain in the ass but the video is great.

So I finally got around to fitting my replacement shapeshifter today. Had everything reassembled and the last job was to pump it up. Attached the pump and started pumping but the pressure wouldn't build at all. Attached it to the shock to test it out and the pump was working perfectly. Gave it another go on the shapeshifter and I could hear the air leaking straight out as I pumped, although I couldn't pinpoint exactly where.

Anyone seen this before or have any ideas before I send an angry email?

Try mixing up some soapy water and cover the area then pump and see where it's leaking. It could be something not fully tightened down or a seal nipped. I would take a vid and email them. Then maybe use the old SS to take the part from if feasible.
