Tricky to call... IIRC they started to supplying a paper-based tape in place of the plastic, but the packaging was the same. Pretty sure I got caught out with it when I first went to re-up after the purge. I think the clue is in your second (live) product link "The flat Japanese Washi paper backing resists bleed-through to ensure razor sharp lines". 👎
 
Placing an AliExpress order for a bunch of odds and ends but knowing all too well the barrage of shipping update e-mails you're about to receive over the coming weeks... 😅
 
The last place I saw the 3m exterior surface tape that replaced the bear blue one available was mitre 10. This is what I used to use. Unavailable now though.



This might be a replacement for it. But hard to tell.

 
?

I just found this on AliExpress: AU$4.11 | ZTTO Bicycle Tubeless Rim Tapes MTB Road Bike Rim Tape Strips 10 Meter For 26 27.5 29 Inch 700c Width 16 18 21 23 25 27 29 31 33
I was wondering about that myself the other day, but I still had a few rolls of Bear stashed, lol.
 
I've nabbed a roll of this (courtesy of my enterprising nature ;)), when I get a chance to trim it to size on the lathe I will give it a go.

I've been using cross weave reinforced packaging tape like this stuff with some success for a while

The ozpost app might be the biggest and most useful fuck you in this situation.
 
She's just being a douche

Except it wasn’t working at the time. She forwarded the pick up to me and I’ll collect it - and give the horrible post person a bit of a serve while I’m at it. Just petty bullshit on their part.
 
Three things pissing me off lately more than ever:
-E bikes. For fucks sake I'm so sick of these fucking things being pushed as the standard bicycle. I don't really care if they are great because your grandfather has a sore tore and it gets him out on a bike, they're motor bikes and 92% of the kooks riding them are a menace.

-Recreational fishing. I live in a coastal town and we have lots of walkways adjoining creek mouths to the sea and the big blue sea. Why is it that every motherfucking mouth breather needs to park their unemployed arse in these places with bags of rubbish aimlessly throwing plastic lures into the ocean and NEVER catch anything? All these fucking morons do is leave their rubbish everywhere for the ocean to absorb. We have a big jetty in town in a relatively protected harbour and these fuckers dangle their shitty baited hooks fifty feet below them hoping to catch something. They don't, they never do yet they persist in chucking their bait bags everywhere. I would have not an ounce of objection to local council's banning fishing where people can see you. The lazy heaps of shit chucking their rubbish everywhere would be useless to go elsewhere and hopefully we'd put a stop to the rubbish everywhere you look.

-Smoking. Geez man, bring back the legal sale of vapes! At least your floral scented vape smoke didn't stink so damn much. Ciggie butts everywhere, people smoking at places where you're eating & drinking, people at social events nicking off for a smoke.............just quit you losers.

We didn't see much of that shit here in Qld until the mass migration from down south, I saw a post on Reddit with people complaining about an old swimming hole we frequented as kids just full of everything imaginable, spent nappies, plastic bottles, cans, food wrappers.

As soon as you see a secret spot whether it's a trail, fishing spot, swimming hole or camping spot hit youtube you can say it's fucked. The bogan brigade turn up with their crocks and KFC boxes and just destroy the place until it gets closed down.
 
Litter is one of the laziest and most disgusting crimes against society and the planet. There is a little bridge near my place that is a very popular fishing spot. It is also pretty useless (I've given it a shot and never see anyone catch fish there) for catching fish. You have to walk past a bin at either end when you leave...but still people leave their rubbish.

I understand the second and third but what's specifically bugging you about the first? I reckon 30% of bikes at Smithfield are ebikes, and they're ridden respectfully.
