It provides a reliable protection to the carbon-fiber or metal structures it’s applied to. “Road” is perfect for lighter off-road riding or gravel\/cyclocross applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003einvisible protection against scratches and impacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003elightweight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eeasy to apply, strong adhesion also on curved surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003edoesn’t turn yellow over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eideal for protecting carbon or metal parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003evisco-elastic behavior reduced vibrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eHow it works: Shelter Road has a 0,2 mm scratch-resistant upper layer with a gummy (viscoelastic) 0,4 mm layer underneath. This unique, composite construction allows Shelter to spread impact energy within its structure, without transmitting it.\u003cbr\u003e\nShelter Road (0,6 mm thick) is best for lighter off-road riding or gravel\/cyclocross applications. Shelter Off-Road (1,2 mm thick) is the thickest Shelter, and it’s perfect for heavier duty off-road riding. Shelter ZeroDue (0,2 mm thick) is great for protection of road bikes or surfaces mostly subject to wear and friction, like crank arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eLightweight protection: With a weight of 0,077 g per square centimeter, Shelter Road generates the following results:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eShelter Road Pack (two 54 x 500 mm, 0,6 mm thick elements): approx. 42 g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eShelter Road Roll (58 mm x 5 m, 0,6 mm thick): approx. 210 g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eAvailable sizes\/formats\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eShelter Road Pack: sealed pack with two 54 x 500 mm(*), 0,6 mm thick elements.

After being applied, it takes Shelter 8 hours before developing its optimal bonding. After that, normal bicycle use or washing won’t affect it, but it can be removed – if needed – without damaging the underlying paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eApplication of Shelter doesn’t require special tools or procedures, just normal skills and patience:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003e1. after removing cables or other interfering elements, clean the area where you want to apply Shelter with alcohol and a clean cloth. Remove traces of dried-up alcohol with another clean, dry cloth;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003e2. take the suitable pre-cut Shelter element or cut a custom made Shelter piece, without removing the backing paper;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003e3. make sure the element fits the area you want to protect and make sure your hands are clean. After that, completely remove the backing paper, freeing the adhesive surface (try not to touch the adhesive surface with your fingers, or do it as little as possible: being transparent, fingerprints might show);\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003e4. gently position Shelter on the area to protect, without applying pressure and without stretching the material. Re-position it if necessary, until it sits exactly where you want it. As this point, start applying an even pressure, working from the center and going towards the sides, to avoid trapping air bubbles and making wrinkles;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003e5. work on the whole Shelter element to make it stick to the surface. Insist on the edges and on tight curved sections to make sure the adhesion is even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eYou can use your bicycle immediately after applying Shelter, remembering that the full adhesion is achieved after 8 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eTo remove Shelter, peel it off slowly, making sure not to delaminate it. Doing so, Shelter won’t leave any trace of glue on the surface it was formerly attached to, even after several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eUV-resistant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eShelter is transparent but won’t turn yellowish over time, thanks to its UV-protection. It will even protect the underlaying frame paint from UV degradation.\u003cbr\u003e\nIMPORTANT: after the removal of Shelter, there may be differences in color between protected areas and not, in case of fluorescent paints or bright colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eVisco-elasticity reduces vibrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eThe transmission of vibrational energy through any structure can be reduced by introducing visco-elastic materials at discrete points. It’s exactly what Shelter does, providing stiff carbon frames with protection but also contributing to reduce vibrations. An example of that is Shelter Wheel Kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eBeware of copies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align:start\"\u003eThere are watermark “Shelter Effetto Mariposa” logos inside Shelter structure, impossible to remove.
