Effetto Mariposa Shelter Road Frame Protection Roll 5m

Invisible Frame Protection
Shelter Road (0,6 mm thick) is a transparent shock and scratch resistant adhesive tape, best for lighter off-road riding or gravel/cyclocross applications It provides a reliable protection to the carbon-fibre or metal structures it is applied to. The unique, composite construction allows Shelter to spread impact energy within its structure, without transmitting the impact, and reducing it very efficiently, making it perfect for heavier duty off-road riding.

Easy to Apply: No Special Tools Required
Adhesion of Shelter is defined as “semi-structural”, which means it is very strong but not permanent. After being applied, it takes Shelter 8 hours before developing its optimal bonding. After that, normal bicycle use or washing won’t affect it, and it can be removed, if needed, without damaging the underlying paint.

UV-Resistant
Shelter is transparent, and thanks to its UV-protection, will remain clear, not yellowing over time. It will even protect the underlaying frame paint from UV degradation.

Visco-Elasticity Reduces Vibrations
The transmission of vibrational energy through any structure can be reduced by introducing visco-elastic materials at discrete points. This is exactly what Shelter does, providing stiff carbon frames with protection but also contributing to reduce vibrations.

How To Apply
Application of Shelter doesn’t require special tools or procedures, just normal skills and patience:
• Remove cables and other interfering bits,
• Clean area with alcohol and a clean cloth,
• Remove traces of dried-up alcohol with another clean, dry cloth
• Cut to size and shape without removing backing paper.
• Check for size and shape
• Ensure your hands are clean,
• completely remove the backing paper
• Avoid touching the adhesive side (finger prints may show due to the transaperency)
