[@fenixxark]

What a chill video...the tunes, the cat, the vibe...love it

[@mrpercussive]

i have the best cats... Should turn this channel into a cat channel... 😂

[@YanDoroshenko]

Thanks for the tutorial, this is exactly what I'm going to do on my Capra.

[@mrpercussive]

Totally man! Easy to do, works and looks clean af!

[@patrickstep]

Remember the black cloth tape for you drop bars? That's what I use. Works very well, cheap and looks good

[@drewsenthused6079]

I'm not a fan of the lumpy look, I do love that mastic tape though, think I'll throw a couple small pieces on those extra spots you mentioned 👍

[@mrpercussive]

It works! Also soft part of Velcro also works pretty well for some spots like cables

[@MILTONATOR]

Anothaaaa one! Once again, mind blown! thanks man

[@mrpercussive]

If you're looking for cheap hacks, I'm your guy! 😅

[@MILTONATOR]

@@mrpercussive no kidding 😂🤘

[@maliskoph2976]

Awesome video and technique. Thanks for sharing!

[@mrpercussive]

Sure thing! Yea 3M Mastic tape has now become one of my favorite things for sure! :)

[@maliskoph2976]

@@mrpercussive Just used your method on my frame -- works like a charm!

[@mrpercussive]

@@maliskoph2976 Sick!!! Yea man! Glad you like it! :)

[@mitchellsteadman7720]

Could I use this tape as a down tube protector? Or to cover up so unwanted brands?

[@mrpercussive]

Definitely! It's tough and thick! Would be cool for bottom bracket area too!

[@adamojewski5733]

great job, I really like it :) Looks pro!!

[@mrpercussive]

Adam Łojewski thanks! It works great too!!!

[@adamojewski5733]

@@mrpercussive I'm gonna try it :)

[@edgartangeles]

Nice bike chain i like it👍

[@mrpercussive]

It was forged with unicorn tears 😂

[@russm195]

How did it end up working for chain slap? Did it silent the chain?

[@mrpercussive]

Yea man! Works great!

[@cooperwinter852]

Easy solution going to do it on my intense

[@mrpercussive]

Yupp! Works pretty well! What intense you running?

[@cooperwinter852]

mrpercussive intense recluse carbon

[@mrpercussive]

Sick frame! Yea I really dig the Intense bikes. Just fun flickable race bikes. I've actually considered getting one of those and mulleting it with a 120mm 29er up front before... Actually did one to a 2015 T275c... Bike ride's pretty darn well as a trail jibbin' machine!

[@FORTE-VIDEOS]

How will it hold up to rocks on the downtube?

[@mrpercussive]

For downtube rock protection i actually just use thicker slaps of 3m Helicopter tape. Here's a link to my bike check showing you what it looks like. Time stamp is 6:41 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpjWiWWwjp6hY8U If I were to use mastic tape for downtube rocks and stuff, i would do a layer of that and then use strip of gorilla tape to go over it and it'll be tougher and last longer.

[@FORTE-VIDEOS]

@@mrpercussive you ever think about making a video using Kydex molding m

[@mrpercussive]

@@FORTE-VIDEOS I've never worked with kydex before but have friends who have had good luck with it. Don't think I'm going to make a video on it unless i'm actually going to do it for a bike i have. Went with thick clear helicopter for my current ride so i'm good for now

[@ogden99]

How did this hold up?

[@mrpercussive]

All my bikes with this are still holding up. Some are more worn that others but it's all still in running shape

[@noah1239]

In my opinion this even looks good

[@mrpercussive]

thanks! Yea some homebrew solutions can be pretty rad! :)

[@ShayZ06LS6]

Unfortunately, because of the softness of the mastic tape, it is not resilient to impact and scratches and will get marred and scuffed easily, ruining the aesthetics of a beautiful matte taping job. You can cover this mastic with a harder shiny tape like 3M Super 33 or 88 to protect from shearing forces.

[@mrpercussive]

good to know... Mine's actually still doing pretty good in terms of ware but will try that eventually when i wear it out! Thanks!

"Give it a little wipey wipey"

[@Br3ndo1891]

Paper would be hard to cut with those scissors mate 😂😂😂😂

[@mrpercussive]

gotta work with what you got... 😂

[@nathanabby12]

Did it ruin your paint?

[@mrpercussive]

Why would this ruin paint?

[@mufeiling2452]

GOOD

kitty!!

[@ro63rto]

Um, did you just spray 91% Isopropyl onto your chain?

[@mrpercussive]

Probably just bad camera angle. Sprayed the chainstay. Dont think it'll hurt chain if some of it gets on there. Just make sure to wipe and relube after...

[@seanhornchek6440]

totally fine, alcohol works great to clean chains.

[@YanDoroshenko]

Finally! Finally after half a year of trying to get my hands on some 2228 (which turned out to be an extremely rare commodity around here) my new chainstay protector is complete! Not as clean and awesome as yours, but I'm quite satisfied nevertheless: imgur.com/a/9s27a4g

[@mrpercussive]

Looks pretty rad man!!!! Yea it's like just an amazing tape! Works great for a bunch of other stuff too!

[@YanDoroshenko]

@@mrpercussive Thanks. Here's the second try, turned out a bit better on the wife's bike: imgur.com/a/cijkunP

[@mrpercussive]

That looks like it was OEM bruh! :)

[@brygry]

Half the number of lumps and round all the corners and this would actually look nice.

[@mrpercussive]

would probably save some weight too... haha

[@ShaneWoodard-q2l]

Sorry, fat fingered the thumbs down. Wasn't intentional.😢

[@johnmills837]

This is why I can't get mastic for my electrical splices on my billion $ powerhouse job. WTF!

[@mrpercussive]

i've never seen mastic tape at a local hardware store either... Ordered a small roll online...
