Duct tape for frame/paint protection
Does anyone use duct tape to protect their paint or frame when locking up? I remember reading in another thread that the adhesive in the tape will actually eat away at your paint - true?

I put some plastic wrap (saran wrap) around the portion of the tt i'm going to tape, and then tape it. This way I can also take it off whenever I please.

I use one of these:
I use it as a strap for my pants leg and when I get off the bike, I wrap it around the TT for protection. Mmmm...multi-tasker....

Thanks for the info...I'll look into a cheap TT protector.
