Hi Daniel, thanks for your comment. I completely agree with everything you said, it's a very beautiful place, but definitely dangerous in the wrong conditions. People should plan plan and plan some more before they enter

Hi Sean, I used Richard Scott Design richardscottdesign.com/ Hope that helps 😁

@@scottgoodski can find them on his website mate

@@seanhammond4527 It's a good few years since I applied the decals, maybe he's discontinued them? I do vaguely remember reading something about Fox clamping down on copyright, maybe that's it? Either try messaging Richard Scott direct or try a google search. I just tried and found a few others that do them Silk Graphics & Ride Decals, were the first two sites to pop up. Failing that Silverfish are UK fox suspension importers so they sell the official OEM ones. Cheers 😎😎

What you're saying makes perfect sense. However, I chose to put them on top of the invis vinyl because I wasn't sure I liked the colour of the "Fox" logo and I thought I might change them in the future for a different colour scheme. That's it really, nothing more than the ability to change colour scheme more easily, that's all. As it is, 3 years later and over 3.5 thousand miles on the bike and I haven't changed them and they look just as good as they did when first fitted. Hope that helps 😁😁

@@scottgoodski cool, thanks for the reply I was just wondering because I just purchased new decals & also purchased ride wrap so wasn’t sure how to do it until I just seen your video…. Btw Great video

I should be thanking you. Decals are still on the forks and still looking good, so thanks again 🤘🤘

Thats great Scott. They are great materials and should last a long time. Do let me know if you want any decals in the future though. Good luck with everything.

Thanks, it's been a while since I posted this video and so it's a fair few years since I last rode my Bullit, but I still have it and as I've still got all the original parts (including Chrome Marzocchi Bombers) I do intend putting it all back to original one day.........when I finally get round it obvs 😉🙄😂😂

Thanks Tom2, that's very kind of you to say. I don't make any money out of TH-cam (too few subscribers) I just do this for fun, so that's really nice to hear, thank you 😁😁

Only issue is, what do you do with the rest of the shampoo? I had hair as soft as a baby's for weeks after doing mine 😂😂

@@scottgoodski that’s a good question! might as well use it up aye! 😂

Hi Sally, thanks for kind words. I'm getting better slowly thank you, not sure I'll ever be truly fit again though, but that's probably got more to do with my age 😂 Hope you're still riding and finding time to enter more races 🚵‍♀️

@@scottgoodski ageing is not a rider’s friend! 😞 I came off just before xmas and fractured my elbow, it’s taken ages to sort itself out. I’m doing a grass-roots competition on Sunday at Flyup417. Only one other over 35 woman in my category so I guess I’m in with a shout but I do have to defend my 2021 series championship win. 😂😂 Just so you know, in my head I’m competing in the UCI Downhill World Cup! 😆 If I sort my Go-pro out maybe I’ll get some footage up, although it will be very boring. 🥱

@@sallyowens1394 Good luck Sunday, you'll smash it I'm sure. Gotta love Flyup and FoD😁

I got mine from a company called Invis, link in description. Contact them and see if they have your frame and size available. If they don't have one available they can also make you a kit if you send them the frame. Hope you get it sorted and hope this helps.

I did actually try that first (but didn't film), but because the new decals were a slightly different size to the originals, when I put one side on the decal looked like it had slipped down the fork and was too low and so the faffing began 😂😂😂

Very kind, thank you. Please consider subscribing 😁

What a lovely friendly comment, thank you and you stay safe too

We should start an original Bullit club 😁 Don't know about you though, but I certainly wouldn't get very far on mine now, they weigh a ton, my old legs couldn't cope 😂🤣

@@scottgoodski I hear you. Coming down hill is now slower but still as fun 😄

Original Bullit club? Sign me and my '99 Bullit up! Built up from a frameset

I think you're right, I looked at the website where I got mine from and they don't list Fox at all now. I used a company called Richard Scott Designs. I can't remember the exact name of the colour I used, just a grey one. Hope you manage to find some. If you do find any available, do you mind posting a comment again to let others know where you found them, thanks.

I’ve contacted Richard design, he’s only half hour from where I live. I’ll update when he gets back to me. his decals appear to be the better quality. Once I got some il post link here, thanks

@@1spiders1 Hi, any update on this? Looking for replacement decals for my 38's but RSD don't seem to be doing Fox at all now. Cheers

Ride decals are doing fox so yeah . ordered some nebula ones a while ago and they seem to last longer than the fox ones.

@@rufushayday6990 That's good news then. I know Fox are just trying to defend their brand and uphold their copyrights, but it just seems a bit much to stop people buying/selling decals. Cheers for letting me know anyway 🤘👍

Like it 😂😂😂

I have a Rockshox on order but I'm so tempted by those stunning Fox forkguards available online lol. But those are applied with cable-ties rather than adhesives so it doesn't affect the original Rockshox paint job.

Hi Stephen, it was early September, think it was actually first week in September if I remember correctly. Hope that helps. Are you planning a similar trip?

@@scottgoodski Hi Scott. Yes, same route - you've got me thinking about the time of year though Perhaps a good dry spell would make sense

@@stevia13 I think we were just unlucky that particular week. I tend to do a long ride/adventure the same time every year and that week "usually" comes up trumps 🌞 Just not that year unfortunately. If you have the luxury to wait for a dry spell then that would be best. Amazing how quick the water runs off those hills 😱

Not local no, I'm from Nottingham, but been a fair few times and loved the area. Did one of the PMBA enduro from there and Havok bike park a few years ago which was great fun. Had a couple of great curries on the way home before now as well at the Ashoka in Rawtenstall if you know it?

Dangerous there now guys turn up in cars and rob your bike

@@1spiders1 When I've been, I parked in the carpark by the council building that you pass just as you leave the main road. Not sure you're stickly allowed to do that, but I felt safer in there rather than the road that leads to the quarry.

Thanks!

Thank you for your kind words. It sounds like I could have done with your local knowledge before the ride. It was a true adventure I'll never forget, that's for sure 😁

Getting to Shenevall in those conditions was an adventure enough mate. You should return sometime when the weather is better. Found it pretty hard going 20 years ago when the paths were not done up as they are now. There is a lot of history in those hills, the 'causeway' has quite a story to it.

@@-ewen Wow, don't suppose you have any photos from 20 years ago?

That's such a shame and so disappointing once you've made your mind up to do the job. Who did you buy from? Who was manufacturer? Name and shame please. Hope you get something sorted and it looks cool in the end 😁

Ridedecals.uk desided to not send m back, cut the edges of and it looks ok now but it's not ok for this company to send me damaged stuff and they must have seen it.

Yes, it's a kit you buy that relates to the make, model and year of your bike from a company called invis, see description under youtube video. Hope that helps 😁

Thank you for your comment. The music is - BoxCat_Games - Rolling

I was worried too before I tried it, didn't want to make a mess of my lovely new bike, but it was really easy I promise and using this method you've got all the time in the world to get the decals positioned properly. Glad it helped 😁 Please consider subscribing, I've taken to begging people now 😂😂😂

Hi Larry, thank you for your comment, it's good to know people understand

Thank you so much, such very kind words 😁

We've all been there and done that. I jump out of my skin at a plastic bag on night rides sometimes, think it's a ghost chasing me 😂😂😂

@@scottgoodski 😄😄 made my day

It's one of those things that you think will never happen to you, but when it does you're damn glad we have such a service in the UK and for free too, incredible. Thanks again David

Thanks for the compliment, but never really progressed much since then. Getting older and had a big fracture (not dirt jumping) about 4 years ago, so mentally it's hard to come back from that. But after saying that, I do still enjoy the little jumps 😲 We can but dream 🤠🤡🤠🤡😂😂😂😂

I've never actually tried taking the decals off the wrap once it's fully stuck, I only meant that you've got more chance of swapping decals later putting them on top of the wrap as opposed to below. Therefore can't say with 100% confidence, but 🤔 when I took the original decals off the fork they came off really easily. So. in my opinion, and it is just my best guess, I think if the replacement decals have the same or similar adhesive as the originals I really don't think it would pull up or damage the frame wrap at all. But as I said, it's only a guess. If anyone tries it, maybe they'd be kind enough to leave a comment here relating their experiences. Hope that helps 🤷🏼‍♂️ Thanks for your comment, please subscribe, sorry blatant begging for help to get to 1000 subscribers 😁

Lamentablemente no soy el fabricante. Pruébelos directamente en www.invis.co.uk/

I've never tried removing a whole vinyl kit, but I have removed small pieces and it had no effect on the paintwork at all. The manufacturers recommend using some heat from a hairdryer when removing the vinyl, but obviously be careful how much heat you apply, maybe just warm up slightly and try it, you can always warm a bit more if it won't come off. Also, I'd say keep the heat/hairdryer moving, don't just hold it in one place, you don't want to risk damaging your frame. You could ask for more advice from the seller, I'm just a bloke who gave it a go, I'm NOT an expert. Let me know how you get on and any tips you learn from trying 😁

Yes I did. It cleaned it up nicely and didn't have any effect on the carbon or paintwork. Hope that helps 😁

@@scottgoodski Nice, cheers mate!

Isopropanol alcohol, anything above 90% will do the job as it’s cheap/safe and comes in a spray. It’s what the pros use after working on bikes.

I bet you don't miss the weight of it though, they were heavy bikes, but great fun nevertheless. What do you ride now? Thanks for your comment 😁

@@scottgoodski well after i sold that i quit biking for 10 years cause i just couldn't afford it. Just bought a giant glory 2 2013 (equally as heavy) 😂 and just got back into biking and downhill this summer :) dream bike would probabaly be a new trek session. Maybe next year 😅

@@O6i It's good that you've got back in to it, keeps you fit and strong, but there's always new bikes to buy 🤔😂😂

@@scottgoodski yeah when i heard 26" was a thing of the past it blew my mind 😂 biking has evolved alot! And yes the main reason i got back into it was for the excercise, this quarantine gave me quite the belly lol all the best! 😎🤙

Scott Goodwin Sure bro! It’s the least I can do,man!!!

Thank you for your nice comment. Now, Invis would tell you the wrap needs to go beneath the stickers so in you case you would have to remove factory ones (which would probably rip when you did it, so you'd have to source and buy replacement ones). I can see their reasoning in that you wouldn't get any air pockets around the stickers. However, I've done it both ways and each has pros and cons i my opinion. By putting the wrap over the existing stickers you are also protecting them, but equally this method prevents you from changing the stickers to change the "look" of your bike at a later date. I think the most important thing when you apply the wrap over the stickers is to take your time and really work hard with the squeegee around the edges os the stickers to reduce the air gap you end up with. When I've done it, you can tell there is a very small pocket in these areas when you over analyse it when you're first applying the wrap, but it really is tiny and once you walk away and stop obsessing you'll never notice them again. Just spend time with that squeegee and really work hard with the edge of it to make the air gap as small as possible. After saying all that, it is an easier application of the wrap without the stickers, but then that adds the task of adding stickers back on. So, after going round and round in circles, my advice to you is to do what is best for you, I wouldn't let any tiny air pockets prevent you from applying the wrap over the stickers personally. How likely are you to want to change the stickers for a different colour / style in the future?

@@scottgoodski Hey thanks for that Tutorial like answer :D Im not really sure as there are no 38 decaks to buy right now,. And as the Invis is only 20 dollar or so, i think i just wrap it over the stickers and later if i found stickers which i wanna replace them with i just do the whole work again this time under the decals. Thank you very much !!

In that case, I'd definitely wrap over them now. If you want to replace them at a later date you can always peel the whole lot off and start again like you say. Go for it, just take a bit of time round the sticker edges, you'll have a great result I'm sure.

The best place to look for exact dimensions is the manufacturer's website. Please be aware I do not make the vinyl. Thank you for your comment. www.invis.co.uk/?gclid=CjwKCAjwrvv3BRAJEiwAhwOdM-oLzqNu_m6X2bNTJhWOtIvBFiTMVhgWY3T_gDgTFpxSKItl3s89zBoCTVcQAvD_BwE

I've sold it now 😢 Things move on I guess and the geo got better on newer bikes, but this was a particular favourite of mine I must confess. Thanks for the comment and please consider subscribing, it really helps, thank you again 😁

Glad you liked it!

I'm not actually linked in any way with Invisframe (the protection kit I used) so don't know details like that, sorry. However, if you want to do it cheaper without a kit, they do sell the individual sheets of vinyl "uncut" in both gloss and matte. Could be worth trying that. For me though, although the kits are more expensive the ease of application and the end results are worth the extra paid for the pre cut kits. www.invis.co.uk/blank-sheet.html

@@scottgoodski missed the point . Not the price or kit I was saying installation was harder than you did it lol u made it lol easy

Sorry, I get you now, I'm easily confused, especially during lock-down. Think I need to get out more, going slightly crazy here 🤪😵😳😁

I think I got mine around the year 2000 ish, maybe plus or minus a year. What colour was yours? I'm thinking I need to rebuild mine as it was originally, I've still got most of the missing pieces including a set of chrome Marzocchi Bomber Z1s. Just need more time to get around to it

@@scottgoodski Mine is black and original in great condition

Sorry, not had any experience of that myself. Hopefully someone else who knows more about it will reply to this comment. Be good to see the results though, maybe stick a photo below when you're done. Good luck 😁

Absolutely. Have a look online for decals that match your fork and colours you want, then go for it.

@@scottgoodski ok wii do

I ordered from a company called Richard Scott design, but there's loads of other places that do the same kind of thing, Silk Graphics, Dedecals, Invis, SpiralGFX, Graphicsdirect.....................literally loads of places when you start looking so there's loads of choice too. Let me know how you get on and it would be good to hear what the quality is like of the ones you finally decide on. Cheers mate 👍🏼

I bought mine from this website. Go on there and check the price for your make and model of bike www.invis.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwncT1BRDhARIsAOQF9LkabJJTDK4K4paGorXRTji0WEEbItoM3oeElWSe0l-b1GhqeD8MnDYaAtGiEALw_wcB

Hi Ian. There's two reasons I did it this way, the first is that the protection wrap material I used, Invis, actually advise to put it under the stickers to get better contact to the frame/fork thus eliminating the chance of air gaps at the junction where the protection meets the sticker (although I have in the past put it over the stickers on previous bikes, mainly because I couldn't be bothered and didn't want to change the stickers for aesthetic reasons) and the second and main reason I put the stickers over the top is that I wanted the ability to change the stickers again in the future thus allowing me to change the look of the bike/ brightening it up later on down the line. But basically, I've done it both ways and it works either way, the benefit of putting it over the stickers is that it protects the stickers like you say, but the benefit of putting the protection beneath the stickers is it allows you to change the stickers/look of your bike at a later date if you decide you fancy a change. Hope that helps 😁

@@scottgoodski I've just ordered a replacement Invisifame down tube section for my Santa Cruz, wanting to put the new Santa Cruz decals on first so the invis goes over the top. As you say above, Invis do recommend the other way, how did you find the Invis sticking around the decals, did/have you got many air bubbles? Paul

@@paul23c609I found you get a tiny (and I mean tiny) line of air immediately around the sticker/decal, but no bubbles as such and it can't be seen when you're finished. I think this happens because the invis is quite thick (hence the protection it offers) and so it can't be made to fold/conform directly around the edge of the sticker. Just work hard with your squeegee around the edge of the stickers when you apply the invis. It's easier than I made it sound 😂 and looks fine when done. Hope that helps 😁

@@scottgoodski Nice one Scott, thanks for taking the time to reply. As I wash down the bike quite often I've found the Santa Cruz downtube stickers (as they are pointy corners) have begun to lift, so having fresh Stickers and a new section of Invis will look and feel super smooth, so, happy washing and scrubbing. I was alittle worried when Invis said to me that 'normally the stickers go on top' 😕. Right, enough waffle from me, will take my time when the kit arrives and taking your advice will work hard to get all the water removed around the stickers. Thanks again, Paul 👍🚴🍻

@@scottgoodski could you not just put protection over the decals (protecting them too) & if you wanted to change the colour of the decals later just add them over the top of all of it. That way the original fork & decals are protected.

Hi Tomas, I don't carry a water bottle on this bike, I carry hydration bladder in my rucksack. I pretty much always carry a rucksack, so it seemed like a natural thing to do. I use the Osprey bags and hydration system.

@@scottgoodski Hi Scott, I solved problem with watter same like you. Regards!
