36 ft of helicopter tape...that's a lot of tape. Useful for protecting other parts of the bike as well...chain stay protector, head tube protector, use it on the top tube to protect against the exposed brake cable. Probably can sell some here as well... On Wednesday, October 16, 2013

I also used racer's tape to attach my wire from my headlight to the taillight. I like the idea of using it to protect the head tube from cable rub and chainstay nicks too. Toshi in Oakland On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 9:09 AM, Steve yngp...@yahoo.com wrote: 36 ft of helicopter tape...that's a lot

The racers tape I bought online was a disappointment. It would not stick to the frame. I'm not sure if I bought the wrong stuff, a bad batch, or I need to clean and prep the frame tubes better prior to application. If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it. Dynamo wires bug me! Chris On

Here's a nice, clean wiring job by somervillebikes: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7516215@N03/9401478506/ He used shrink tubing (pre-shrunk before attaching) and glued pieces to the fork as guides for the wire. His photostream shows how he guided the wire under the fender using aluminum tube

Hmm maybe i'm asking for trouble but i used duct tape (actual silver tape used to tape ducts together, rated for heat and water-proofness), and so far it's been ok, using it inside my fenders as well. will see how it held up in a few weeks when i do the yearly checkup. On Wednesday, October

I 've also been thinking about this off and on. I've used black electrical tape down the underside of the down tube (works great), and clear packing tape along the underside of the fender leading to the dynamo tailight located there (works terribly poorly, of course; need something better but
