what's the best tape to use for taping on pit stop bottles, etc on a bike? I need something that stays on well but peels off nice and clean. I know it's out there but searching online = no luck. suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Electric tape. Get decent stuff. Cheap, dollar store tape sucks.

Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

for this past season ive been using velcro straps made my xlab (http://www.airointernational.com/x-straps.html) that secure my pit stop behind my seat. i also added on large rubber bands for good measure. ive never used electrical tape, but it sounds like a nice option. that way you dont have to worry about re-attaching/losing the straps. my only concern would be ensuring that you can rip the tape off easily.

Electrical tape is pretty easy to tear with your teeth or fingers... Home Depot sells decent stuff in multi-packs that is around $1 a roll. It's much better than dollar store stuff for the same price.

You can even get cool multi-color packs, which can be useful for labeling/organizing, etc.
