I'm looking for a replacement downtube protector which come pre-fitted to pretty much all spesh frames I've had. With other framesets from spesh I've bought they come with replacement protectors but this new frame don't.

I'd ideally like to replace the protector as it's pre cut around the cable mounts but after contacting spesh they won't sell me a replacement.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of the thicker 3M tape not the usual thin copter tape?

Thanks

Or search ebay for "solid neoprene rubber sheet" then cut to shape and stick on

Shelter tape is probably the most hardcore adhesive tape - but not cheap.

Its branded Effetto Mariposa now.
