Yes. That's the place where it was most helpful. The protective tape is fairly thick, and it would wear through in 3-4 months. I would generally cut a circle about 50% larger than the marked area, then put another smaller one right at the contact point (i.e. two layers). - Jim -- Jim Edgar cyclofi...@earthlink.net Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Your Photos are needed! - http://www.cyclofiend.com/guidelines "Steel's what you want for a messenger bike.
