Don't know about packing tape--probably depends on tape and paint. Will masking tape take paint off walls or do you pay extra for the blue tape? Probably a similar thing... Toshi On Fri, Jan 25, 2019 at 2:27 PM Kurt Manley wrote: > Will regular packing tape damage the paint when you take it of

Patrick - yes I think that’s it. I’m no expert on adhesives but the shoe goo packaging states it’s fit for leather, rubber, vinyl and canvas applications. Like you I’ve used shoe goo for its intended purpose many times in the past, so I was surprised how gummy it was after 24 hours of curing.

After checking in with Grant on my Saluki I drilled a hole in the downtube to head tube lug window which I then chamfered. The exit hole is about an inch up the seat tube also chamfered. Drilling the frame isn't for the faint of heart but it worked for me and does clean up the wiring. My corr

Thanks for this clarification; I may very well give it a try, since the Dahon (a fixie) has no rear brake along which to run the tail light wire, and zip ties (black! On light tanny-cream!) look ugly. I've used rubber cement, from Office Depot or what have you, for patching tubes, and while it did

Good masking tape doesn't take paint off (especially bicycle paint), and leaves no residues. However, the adhesive is also pretty weak, and thus wouldn't be an acceptable tape for securing wire runs to the rear light. On Sunday, January 27, 2019 at 12:11:18 AM UTC-8, ttoshi wrote: > > Don't kno

I'll be the contrarian here, and ask if you would consider using a battery-powered rear light instead of having ugly runs of wire to the rear light. Dynamo rear lights are usually running at 0.3 watts, so even one AA-sized Eneloop will have enough for more than 10 hours of operation (>3 watt-ho

I have used battery rear lights with dyno front lights many times, and I agree that with modern LEDs a battery rear makes a great deal of sense.
