I picked up a set of pucks, and I've got my bike out in the sun as I type letting it warm up a bit before I start the process. My question is this, how flexible do the pucks get, or should get, after they warm up. I've all ready heated one up a bit with the wifes blow dryer, and it doesn't seem any more flexible than before. BTW, it's 55 outside, and frame temp is around 64.

Heat is to help seal, not to flex.

At least that was my reasoning when doing mine.

The instructions say 70degree climate is best. I created a approximation of one.

Why not get a good ride in to warm up the frame and then stick the pucks on. Should get plenty hot.

Because the wind will peel up the edge.

Per instructions. And in real life.

Ask me how I know.

Buying enough 3m adhesive strips to cover your botched job/early ride.

$25.00

Let it sit for at least an hour, or have the side come up, and have a 1/8" gap.

The frame pucks that are for the Ulysses also fit the 1125 frame.

Not quite true!! The internal contours on the pucks do not exactly match the frame contours no matter where on the corner frame angle you place them. It is a slight misfit but good enough. There will never be full tack contact of glue to frame but like I say its good enough to look ok. Put on many pucks in my time and this week did the 1125R using Ully Pucks.

I agree 100% Trafford. They do NOT fit perfectly. But they look fine and will protect your frame in a crash. Put mine on last week and I oddly feel safer, haha.
