As title, I need enough to cover a full downhill rig pretty much.
Opinions greatly appreciated 🙂

By far the best bike tape out there, free next day delivery too.
Ok - this isnt like me but I'm going to totally disagree with the previous post.
That biketart link is to a generic advert site?
The Bestest / thickest non yellowing stuff for mtbs is the 'rebranded' stuff from JRA. Technically its made by 3M and model 8561HS. The biketart stuff is a thin yellowing waste of cash - imho.
There are lots of counterfeit 3M tapes out there - esp on ebay. And others that are 3M thinner models.
If in doubt check this page out (I'm not recommending buying from them)

There is also a guy on here who got some ex - mod 8561 but I cant remember his name.
Ive bought some some 8561 from this ebay seller and it came in an MOD box, measures (with a vernier),looks and bizarrely smells exactly the same as JRA - but £10 for 3meters;

couldawoulda - Perfect! Have ordered from ebay 🙂 For £10 its worth the risk 🙂
Thanks for your help!
No worries - I forgot to say the genuine stuff moulds and sticks to odd shapes with a hair drier like you wouldnt believe! The other stuff doesnt (:
Sorry chaps, it should have been...

I've taped a lot of bikes with their tape, its stretchy, strong, barely visible and theyre nice chaps too.
rickon - No worry mate, if the ebay stuff ends up crap I'll use your suggestion 🙂
couldawoulda - I think I should be fine, I'm only going to be using it for top tube / down tube / forks etc, nothing amazingly 'shapey' 🙂
