I'm about to buy a c456. Pretty wide tubes. Can't remember what I bought for my last frame. Any recommendations. Normally I'll do downtube, chain stays and top tube plus a few bits for cable rub.

Yeah I did that. Wasn't sure it was all the same stuff. If so, I'll just get some of that then.

+1 for Bike Tart, but also I have used the 'aviation grade' tape from Paragon tapes
http://www.paragontapes.co.uk/
Very quick postage and seems as good, but I have only recently applied so can't comment on peeling/yellowing etc. The Bike tart stuff has been on my Orange since 2008 and is still firmly attached and clear

I've been using the bike protection tape from 'tape2go' and it's been pretty good for the last year or so - much better than the cheaper stuff i bought from ebay.

They are doing a buy 3m get 4m deal this month as well according to an email they sent me.

From what I see pretty much all the tape at biketart is out of stock, unless you want to pay 30+ quid.
