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.

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 9 reviews.
Installed the top cap w/matching red bolt, front fender, frame protection and the fox shocks fork and rear shock stickers. All went well using hair dryer to apply protection. Just wish top cap was lighter ax one I removed from bike was significantly lighter.
Got the tropical glitch for our fat bike to hide some scuffs from a kid ride shotgun. Application is very easy, compared to other brands and adhesive feels strong. One con: the alcohol pads are so tiny, but thats minor. Looks good, and happy with the purchase!
Bought my son a "Pre-loved" trailcraft that had a few scratches on it. So, I let him pick out a sticker kit and he is stoked. Made the bike look new again! Tip: Use a heat gun or very hot blow dryer for better results, as they recommend, and take your time. Would definitely purchase again!
Super pleased with how this turned out. This was my first time installing a frame keeper and with a little patience and some heat from a hairdryer it really was a no-fuss application.
Went on easy! No bubbles. Heat gun helped. The bikes been through mud and washed twice already and it looks perfect!
