As soon as they get some in stock they sell out. They are out now! I wish they would order larger quantities.

I get the 75mm wide x 2m long. It is enough to do all the important areas, but not the whole bike. Any wider and it starts to get awkward to deal with. If ever you get any or reasonable facsimile, then send me a PM with your email address and I will email you a two-page guide (free of course!) It has been compiled with the assistance of several others and has handy tips so that you avoid making the mistakes that we all made.
