Carbon Frame Care

Caring for your carbon frame was a nice find I made while rebuilding by bottom bracket.  I stumbled on it while trying to figure out the best way of re-attaching my chromed metal chain stay protector.  The glue was giving way and the thing was ready to fall off.

While Jim Langley’s page was very useful it wasn’t until I talked to the guys at Cyclesmith that I learned about double-sided carpet tape.  Besides sticking quite well the carpet tape — what I ended up using — has some thickness to it which I think will keep the edges of the chromed piece away from my carbon stay.
