A possible new purchase looming against a backdrop of my persistant OCD means I'm back investigating this super exciting product...
Last time I got so tired of trying to differentiate between all of the available options (1cm^2 of super-premium genuine military-grade 3m "heli tape" for £50 versus a whole roll of dubious Chinese knock-off stuff for a tenner) that my brain melted and I gave up.
When I bought my first road bike I went down the stationers and bought a big roll of generic sticky-backed plastic for a few quid, which over 16-odd years did a bloody good job of protecting the paint on my top tube; although I've never tried to remove it so don't know what fallout (if any) this would have brought.
Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions or insight into this compelling subject I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts.. as the mere mention of the stuff is already starting to send me to sleep but I know it's a neccessary evil that I've ultimately got to source somehow to put my anxiety at bay.
