I used to buy Biketape from Biketart it was great stuff, properly hard wearing. Unfortunately it seems they no longer do it.

I bought some off of eBay but it's worn through after one ride. Buy cheap buy twice.

Does anyone have a recommendation for helicopter tape? 

Ta.

I have a roll of the protex stuff suggested above that I bought 3-4 years ago. 

It might depend how/where you use it but it's been ok for me.

I have bought some recently from this seller on ebay: https://ebay.us/m/TGsI8o

They were recommended by somebody on STW. I can't vouch for longevity but it was the "good stuff" as far as it went on easily and conformed to curves well and went on without millions of bubbles. It is made by Oraguard.

Smashing, that's the kind of thing I'm after. Oraguard will do nicely. 👌

Buy a square sheet from invisiframe, template the tube with newspaper and you’ll get a better fit and more coverage than fixed width tape.
