Self Build Bamboo Bike Frame Kit Build Thread

My only concern would be that if it doesn’t stretch as easily will it not compress enough making for a weaker joint?

I really don't know, but with the cheap cost of tape I'd be tempted to just buy a roll and test it alongside narrower tape. If you've got a spare bamboo tube, you could even just wrap a small bit of hemp around it and try it out with some resin.

Good luck if you decide to get going again.

Yes, picked up on your comment about wider tape. My only concern would be that if it doesn’t stretch as easily will it not compress enough making for a weaker joint?
I’ll try to get some pictures up, should probably start a new thread for it when I do.

Dance floor tape- it is essentially 50mm wide electrical tape
