As for saying tape doesn't wear in 30 hours, I'm gonna disagree on that. I have installed multiple brands of tape that started fraying, peeling, and scuffing heavily in less than 500mi. It's happened with common shop brand Bontrager tape, expensive Supacaz tape, and offbrand Amazon tape.
It doesn't happen for me, but I rode for years with people whose tape I installed and would see the quick destruction in weeks/months.
Yes. Mine starts to wear pretty quickly on my touring/commuting bike in the exact same place. I patch it with electrical tape.
