As title, just got myself a shiny trek and want to tape it up.

seen stuff on ebay 1m x 5cm for a fiver is it any good?

anywhere else got any?

also approx how much would i need for a medium bike?

cheers

if that ebay seller is 'biketape' then great product and service

I've got some and I agree it's good stuff, I just put it on the rub points.. under cable and the point I clamp the frame onto the roof carrier.. it does yellow after a few years, but is heavy duty stuff IMHO

try http://www.biketart.co.uk (i think), prices are usually ok on there.

Second that – I have some on the bike and the car (where rack mounts) and its fine after nearly 2 years of use and UV.

Use Bikesheild, available from some bikeshops, Sideways Cycles sell it. Better than Helitape by far!

I've just bought some from Helitape.co.uk. Website is still been devloped so drop this guy a mail.

£9 a metre (although just did me 3m for £23) and next day delivery. Used his stuff before and lasted longer than the frame 😉

wish this post had been here this morning…

£11 for 10cm * 1m delivered – hopefully it will be fine

biketart = bike tape – same seller..

either way great vendor

I've used this guy too. His stuff is good.

Trident Racing in Silverstone….dirt cheap, does not yellow and sticks like s**t to an army blanket. Probably where the Ebayers get it from before adding a big %.

Google for the number 🙂

SSP

cheers guys 🙂

Another vote for that stuff from sideways cycles.Its been on my hardtail now for 3 years and still looks fresh.

Cheers guys, as has been said above, I sell 100mm widths, £8.95 for 1m, £15.95 for 2m, and can do deals on longer lengths.
Always posted 1st class RM.

Drop me an email at duanebw@gmail.com if you're interested 🙂

Ill hopefully have some up on eBay soon-ish.

Thanks, Duane.

Thanks for this thread folks, I got a new bike too and so I've ordered 1m off Duane. I reckon 1m x 100mm will do 3 bikes: that's 100 1cm x 10cm strips (obviously) which is quite a lot.

Cheers, al.

I have just ordered some from here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230391468178&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:1123

Al, ta for the order, your tape was posted to you earlier today 🙂
