Where is the best place to get some please?
eBay paragon tapes.
Thanks i'll have a look.
I went through a couple of tubes of the Biketart stuff.
Its good but you really need to take your time fitting and cutting it.
I eventually managed but it was a pain in the ar$e, then again my frame has more silly curves than a playboy shoot.
goes on real easy wet?
My views (Im not usually this opinionated) are in this link.
Basically the good stuff comes from 3m. It's rebranded and sold at a big premium. The really poor stuff is prevalent on ebay. Decide how thick you want it then:

+1 for the biketart tape. If you put it on wet it's fine.
Can you put 3m on wet - or is the is the Biketart tape different?
I got a few meters of the the biketart tape and I'm sure it's the thinnest of the 3m heli tapes in their own box. I'm in no way knocking it or anything. All the 3m tapes can be applied wet - I've never needed to - I plan ahead, am careful and I get the hairdryer out and stretch it as required.
If in doubt - Just Riding Along (thicker) and Biketart (thinner) are the real macoy. Just that sometimes the same stuff is on the evilbay (usually from ex mod or airport worker types) that sell it for peanuts. A lot of the ebay "shops" selling 3m stuff are questionable.
