for those of us who like to ride with our foot on the frame...

I ride with my heel on the frame and my toe on the peg for the most part but I was always concerned with my foot slipping off when I would go for the brake and also about scratching the frame. I found this at Lowes and it has seemed to solve my worries. thought I would share.

Tread Tape

I to like to ride with my heel on the frame. I tried a similar product from Home Depot and the heel of my boot wore through in a short period of time.... Keep an eye on it for wear.:doorag::spyder2:

great topic

I did wrap my bike with custom decals, also I did wrap the frame to clear foil, to cover the possible scratches, because I am tall person I do ride with my foot on the frame, otherwise I cannot brake.. its just too small for me ))
anyway this is good topic. I was thinking to add there in same area in same shape as your tape, some thin anty-slippery rubber..

does any of you have been thinking about this.?

Not sure how warm it gets down there but maybe Linex or some truck bed liner?:thumbup: Too bad BRP only offers pegs for the U-fit system. They may learn?
Just a Redneck thought.

what do you use now? this one seems to be almost like a shingle material so hopefully it wont wear through. if it does I have about 13ft left

this is meant to be stepped on and hold true so hopefull heat wont be an issue. Plus its not permanent.

I have not found anything yet. Still looking. I simply rest the heel of my boot against the frame.
