Surface Guard by ISC Racers tape
Tired of seeing scuffs, scratches and dings on your precious bike? Well here is the solution – Surface Guard from ISC Racers Tape.
It’s a clear tape made to protect your frame/paint from cable rubs, paint chips on chainstays, rock chips on the underside of your downtube or anywhere that you feel it can damage the paint of your bike. Look at my poor bike… 🙁

Description from ISC:
Surface Guard Tape comes in Blister Card Packs. Surface Guard is a clear paint protection film designed to protect any surface prone to scratching, chipping, or weathering. Virtually invisible to the naked eye, Surface Guard is made of super tough 8-mil urethane film. Surface Guard conforms to painted surfaces that are vulnerable to the damaging elements that can ruin your investment! Nothing on the market today compares to this! Has a removable backing so you can cut shapes and sizes then remove the liner and aply. Protection for your investment for years to come!
Use Surface Guard for your bike – new or old. I wish I had Surface Guard when I built my bikes. As you can see from the pictures above I can certainly use it. It’s perfect for keeping your frame looking new. For the older bikes, use Surface Guard to prevent further paint damage on your frame. You can use it as a chainstay protector. Get rid of the old intertube wrapping or other types of wraps. Surface Guard works well and much lighter. It’s also perfect for carbon frames!
Two convenient sizes:
2″ x 12″ – $24.95
4″ x 12″ – $34.95
Surface Guard is also applicable to other things like cars, boats, and motorcycles. ISC Racers Tape has been manufacturing a wide range of tapes for different industries for the last 25 years. For more information on Surface Guard and on their other products, go to www.racerstape.com.
Also look for The Moe’s new build – The Dillinger 29er. He’ll have the Surface Guard on key places to keep that frame looking pretty!
I was actually in the process of doing the same (of wrapping my bikes) but going a different route. This roll of tape looks like its the right size for the job.
Couple of questions though–how much is this product and will the tape turn yellow over time?
DT – I just added the price for the rolls.
It shouldnt turn yellow unless it’s constantly under the sun. I consulted w/the guys at ISC and they have on their cars and other toys. It’s been on their for at least 5yrs and they havent changed colors.
A 4 inch x 12 inch patch for $35 is insanely expensive. For that price, you can get a 12″ x 48″ sheet of the 3M stuff that’s used for car clearbras and helicopter blades. I bet it’s similar if not the same stuff.
I bought and applied this stuff to my carbon Trek, so far so good, very happy with it. But wouldn’t you know it…I got chips where I didn’r apply it.
mmm chips…those go great with some salsa
They might go with Mamasita but not with Trek.
Weyland, that’s 4 inches by 12 feet.
I love this stuff. My Sette Venom is practically covered in it.
