Clear tape

ballyharpat

Hey, I have 2 good bicycles, I was looking online for clear protection tape for them, it seems to cost around e50 -80 per bike. I see that car tape does the same thing but is a lot cheaper. Anyone know where I could buy some online? I see there are eBay sellers but not all the reviews are great as they say they don't stick etc.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah this is what you are looking for, just google "helicopter tape" and find the size that suits you best from the recognised manufacturers(like 3M above). Obviously The biggest issue is to make sure the area you are applying tape to is spotlessly clean and dry otherwise it wont stick.

Actually much better to spray a light film of water onto the surface of the frame - give you a little movement and helps when squeezing out air bubbles. Moisture dries out.

I always buy mine (for my MTBs) from these guys - really good quality tape.

Keep putting this off myself. If anyone wants a group buy, maybe a few could order. Just want to protect chainstays mostly,
