Velocity Hucking Systems VHS 3.0 Slapper Tape Chainstay Guard - black

Wider, softer, stronger - this is the third generation of the popular VHS Slapper Tape!

The VHS 3.0 comes with an improved design, optimized materials, improved adhesives and a new iconic packaging.

A major improvement over the 2.0 tape is the increased footprint from 70mm to 140mm. This eliminates any exposed edges that could catch on shoes.

The improvements at a glance:

• Wider base area of 140mm (encloses the entire chain stay)
• softer, moldable silicone rubber that can be perfectly adapted to the shape of the frame
• flatter, beveled and softer knobs that dissipate and absorb chain impacts in a targeted manner
• new, user-friendly adhesive
• Kiss-cut process for easier application of the tape
• UV-resistant

Dimensions:

• Length - 350 mm
• width - 140mm
• Height - 10 mm

 

Installation

• Remove your existing chainstay protector (including a protective film).
• Clean the chainstay thoroughly to remove dirt and old adhesive.
• Then wash with isopropyl alcohol to get everything sparkling clean. Avoid using household cleaners, as these often contain silicone, which prevents the adhesive from sticking.
• Test the length of the VHS tape and cut it to size if necessary.
• Peel off the middle backing film, align the tape and press it evenly onto the frame. Then tape the other two sides one after the other to ensure a clean result.
• Let it cure for at least 30 minutes before riding, up to 6 hours in humid conditions.
• Leftover pieces can be used for other small areas.

Already used and loved by some of the fastest racers in the world, VHS 3.0 tape is the ultimate noise dampening for your mountain bike.
