value-focused
Depends what you value most. Just sent @hippy to Viking for proper 3M "helicopter" tape, but it's not cheap. If you don't mind putting some labour into the job instead of money, ask around for scrap inner tubes and hold down the loose ends with duct tape, although I wouldn't recommend that for steel frames as water will get between the tape and the frame and stay there.
What is the recommended value-focused frame protection tape (and source)?
