Sticky tape on brake calipers...

So, why do some brake calipers have a little bit of sticky tape on them...?

I think it is just a pie plate for your brakes...

When they are boxed (during shipping) and not under tension from a wire, the spring is going to push the arms all the way out, which means the pinch bolt and it's mounting will possibly rub off your shiny new brakes and scuff them.
