Been practising my vinyl wrapping for a little while on my own bike – it’s a lot fun and works out a lot cheaper than painting.
Wondering if this is something I should offer as a service to other people?
Can you see any flaws with this? Some bikes are very intricate which is quite time consuming, but the outcome is a very unique frame!
What do you guys think of the designs?

Love the idea but practically speaking, applying wraps like ridewrap are so incredibly time and energy intensive on my hands and arms i had to just say no when customers come knocking with a ‘i have the wrap, can you install it?’ thinking it’s just a sticker. hate that shit and will always apply Racers Tape instead
looks super cool & is a service i’d consider.
>Can you see any flaws with this?
is it economically viable?
what do you need to charge to wrap the bike you posted?
how bout a hardtail?
how much do you need to disassemble a bike?
e.g. do you need to remove cranksets and disassemble rear suspension linkages?
if so, do you posess the tools and skills to confidently & safely disassmeble/reassemble expensive client bicycles?
I applied RideWrap on my Gravel bike because it gets dirty often and takes a beating most rides. But I’ll never do it to my road bike which doesn’t go out when it’s not nice out or my MTB which is supposed to stay dirty…!
It took me about 12 hours to wrap it.
Probably not because it could hide any frame damage like cracks.
