It went on really well and the gold shift goes well with the brass color on the Fuse. It's subtle, but enough to make it pop just a little, and it being clear shows all the bike details well.

1. Clean your bike thoroughly and wipe frame with isopropyl alcohol. Wash your hands to ensure you don’t leave any dirty fingerprints under the glue. If it’s below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, roll your bike indoors for the following steps.
2. Grab a pair of scissors or an exacto knife. All pieces are designed for larger frames and will likely need to be trimmed before mounting. Before removing the backing, line each piece up to your frame and mark any pieces that need to be shortened or thinned. Trim from the bottom and make sure to round any hard edges (this will help it from pulling up over time).
3. Remove backing and center the guard where you want it. Make sure to do any repositioning before applying pressure. Once you’re happy with the position, lightly tack the center of the guard from top to bottom. Apply pressure from center to sides, pushing out any air/bubbles with your thumbs. We don’t recommend wet application with our material.
Pro Tips:
• Lightly blasting each piece with a hairdryer or heat gun before applying pressure warms the adhesive and makes for an easier application.
• If you have issues wrapping guard around curves, add additional relief cuts where needed.
• To avoid leaving finger prints on transparent Frame Keepers, wet your finger tips if you need to reposition the guard.
• Use a vinyl squeegee tool to help eliminate bubbles during the application process.
• Get clever with your scrap pieces! Throw them on the seat tube, top of the downtube, or wherever you may experience cable rub.
Removal:
ALWAYS use heat when removing Frame Keeper to ensure clean removal. We also recommend using heat when repositioning the Frame Keeper during application.

The smaller pieces did not stick well. Top tube was great
Easy to apply, looks great! Adds a perfect amount of sparkle
Easy to put on and stuck very well!
Simple installation when following the instructions, great protection for the frame. The material is considerably thicker than I’d expected it to be but goes on easy and offers great scratch and damage protection. And looks amazing!
Easy to put on and looks sick and the film is nice and thick for good protection
Did my bike need frame protection? Not really. Did it need to sparkle? Yes, for my personal well-being, it did. It’s a subtle glitter that looks awesome in the sun, and makes my rides just a bit more exciting.
Love the gold sparkle that pops in the sun! Great tie in to my color theme with added frame protection for all the trail adventures and shuttle laps! Still have some extra pieces from the install so might add more later!
Super easy to install and looks insanely good! Price is on point and fast shipping. Now my kona process 153 cr slx is protected and looking even better! I highly recommend!
Struggled a bit putting the strips on (definitely some finger prints and bubbles left behind) but it added a beautiful sparkle to the black frame of my gravel bike!
Looks really clean in my raw aluminum frame, and the gold flakes bright sick on the sun!
The more patience you have, the better application will go! Overall pretty easy though, I like knowing my frame is protected and the subtle sparkles are nice!
I purchased the protection to “blend” into my gravel bike. It adds sparkle without looking like it’s trying too hard. Installation was relatively easy, patience is key.
Went great the protector stuck great to the frame fit perfectly with a heat gun
Bought a gold and sparkle frame keeper for my bikes. Also got a decal set for my Fox 36 and Float X. I live in the Phoenix area and rocks are always kicking up and hitting my frames. The protectors work great and look great. The Decal set allowed me to customize my bike that looks sick. Highly recommend.
A heat gun was most helpful for shaping! The sparkles are fantastic without taking away from the already beautiful Laguna Blue color and on the black section it’s perfect 🤩
It was super easy. Cleaned the frame 2 times before wiping with supplied wipes. Then heated the frame before applying. Using a hear dryer. It came out great.
I did not do the best job of applying the sticker but it looks sweet. The kit was not made for my type of bike and I did not cut the notches large enough for my curvy frame, but she looks BEAUTIFUL. There was enough material to do accent coverage on my fenders and chain guard and trimmed discard pieces are going on my helmet and other accessories. I love the way this looks and only regret not having a practice run to get my notches cut wide/deep enough to prevent the overlap issue. Totally my fault, product is fantastic.
It looks amaizng but the protector just won't attach to the frame around the sides. I followed all supplied instructions but just couldnt get it to work.
Hair dryer is a must. Easy with two people working together.
That perfect subtle dash of stardust. Get your hard tail glistening brighter then a glizzy after a summer rain that turned your backcountry zen center into the muds of Mordor. Get it !!! It matches kashima perfectly and you can live that cashmere lifestyle
Tough protection that brings the bling!
I apologize the stickers don’t do it justice. They look amazing.
Looks SICK! Perfect touch to my bikes paint color and the top cap I got from Ground Keepers Customs is the cherry on top!
Quite easy in applying (compared to other’s that required spraying water)! A hair dryer is especially helpful and avoids excessive heat that would come from a heat gun. I layed out the smaller pieces, held them in place, and used a black marker pen to mark where to make cuts (off the bike) with scissors or an exacto knife. Removing any marker marks showing is simple with rubbing alcohol. A small smooth piece of rounded plastic or wood for a squeegee helps greatly in removing small air bubbles. (Note: I should have bought a second set to apply a ‘Frame Keeper’ piece to the water bottle cage area which would have further illuminated the Silver Sparkle against the flat black frame.)
Easy to put on and looks great!
The wrap functions as it should and she cosmic shift is a head turner
It was pretty tedious to apply but SO worth it! I am in love with the subtle glitter, I feel confident that my bike is protected, I just love itttt! Would sparkle protect again!
In the sun, the sparkle shows beautifully. The slightest amount of shade, it only shows in the black strip. This would be best on dark colors.
Not the easiest to put on and I have some bubbles but it looks great and is a little thicker than ride wrap which I’ve installed as well. The sparkle looks great.
Good grief this shines in the Arizona sun like the Milky Way galaxy. It’s such a cool effect to the raw carbon finish
Sooo cool! Pretty easy to apply and looks so fun in the sunlight
Easy to put on. Get lots of compliments
Turned out great. Easy to apply with a hair dryer and some patience. For the best results wash the bike first and remove the wheels.
Looks fantastic. It was easy to apply. Lays down easily with the help of a hair dryer.
The film is very thick and should provide great protection. We wanted something to help make my Daughters BMX race bike a bit more “her” and this fit the bill perfectly!
This protective film adds personalization to your bike as well as protection. It is easy to put on, but if it is somewhat transparent definitely make sure your hands are clean and free of oil as your fingerprints will be visible after application.
SO GOOD! You folks have an amazing product. Awesome looking. Easy to install and fits well. Well pleased I am.
Excellent product
Super easy application, great look and durable. Will definitely be buying more
