Very good tip! For quite some time i've been searching for a cheap substitue for the notubes tape, but all where worse... just one question, how do you now for sure that is indeed the same tape?

Specialized also make some sort of blue tape that is exactly like Stan.
I know for sure, i have both tapes original one from stan, and Tesa 4289, and they are exactly the same, same sound when you are streching it over the rim, same material ,same adhesive and it works great, i am testing it 3 months for now and so far no problems it sticks to the rim like a death to the granny

Thanks man. I've just ordered some.
3M crossweave tape is what you want. Tougher than Stans and much cheaper. I tape all my wheels up with this now, including 90psi road tubeless. You can get it in a variety of widths, 19mm is fine for most road and all MTB rims.

Hi guys,
Can you share where you have gotten the TESA tape from? I don't seem to get much luck finding someone to sell me a roll or two.
Thanks in advance.
