For all you guys with new frames, this looks the biz, just ordered some and much cheaper than helicopter tape.

The way to take it off is to use a hair drier to soften the glue and then it comes of easily, any residue can then be removed with white spirit or so the man says. I have used similar before and it should be okay if you take care.
Will you be on the new machine tomorrow then? |

I think I order some tape and give it a try it's got to be better than the cable rub all over the epic frame
