What happens here
Begin by cleaning the surface of the bicycle frame where the reflective tape will be applied. The video starts with the downtube/main frame. Carefully position one end of the reflective tape onto the frame, ensuring it is straight. Use an application tool, such as a squeegee, to slowly press the tape onto the frame, working from one end to the other. Apply firm, even pressure to remove any air bubbles and ensure proper adhesion. Peel off the backing paper as you go, smoothing the tape with the squeegee.
Goal: Secure reflective tape to the downtube for increased frontal visibility.
