Dyedbro Announces eMTB Frame Protection Kits

 Not really a good analogy since you can still use your wrapped bike as you normally would... Yes mtb's are inevitably going to get dinged and scratched but why not try and lessen the blow? Especially if you plan to sell one day. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

 also those toys that little Johnny kept in it's box untouched can be worth thousands now in some cases. My 10 year old bike is worth shit

 I use one on my metal DJ because it makes the boring grey bike turn into a bright pink and turquoise accented fun machine

 Well there are clear/no graphics options.
Bikes are for fun right

 We spend thousands of our hard earned money on these bikes. God forbid we want to protect them as much as we can. What a dumb thing to rag on people for.

 I wish I’d kept all my Star Wars toys in their packaging now. £££

On the other hand I had many years of fun gradually destroying them through play as a kid.

 I wrap all my bikes, don't keep my bikes in the original box it came in, and leave them in the garage unridden.

 My bike is a little over 9k retail i want to protect it so i wrap it, i usually keep my bikes for a season and ride a lot of chair lift which in turn i slam from time to time... wrap keeps the paint good! I don't see what the problem is I want to sell my bike looking good as possible and get as much of my money back.

 Do you have a case on your phone?

 @Juggafat: Naw my phone cost me $1000 and I have insurance on the phone If I crack the screen.

 I'm not fan of protective vinyl wraps for the following reasons:

- starts to age (gets yellowed from UV) (4~5 year old rigs i've seen wrenching at the shop)
- dirt accumulates around the edges of the tape over time.
- easily scuffed by by tailgate pads and looks like shit.
- any significant rock strike is still going to damage your frame
- I have seen people remove protective wrap from an area that took an impact and all the cracked up clear coat and paint comes peeling off with it..


So for me, the "protective" wrap may look good on a fresh bike and protect it from light scuffs from shoe and cable rub, and thats really about it. I don't mind my bike having some normal wear and tear and I like the ability to detail it and a nice close look at potential areas of damage.

its like putting protective wrap on an offroad jeep or trying to keep your atv or dirt bike plastics scuff free... its goofy. just use the damn thing and keep it clean. inspect for damage when you eat shit. sell it with honest battle scars.

 @BoneDog: buy from a brand that uses a wrap that doesn’t go yellow such as Invisiframe.

I would like to point out that I have no idea if DyedBro yellows or not am with age.
