Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The tape is very comfortable and provides a bit more grip than other popular tapes, which i appreciate off-road. Matches my charge spoon saddle beautifully. Just enough padding for comfort, but i wear padded gloves anyway.

These wraps are certainly thick which makes applying them a little cumbersome. If you are new to wrapping handlebars or have little patients i would suggest having your local shop put this tape on for you! Definitely helpful to look up youtube videos ... Read More

Easy enough to install after the cap issues. Hard to put on by yourself but not any harder than any previous grip i have installed. Comes with finishing tape and small strips for under your hoods as well as nice looking bar plugs.

Cloth finishing tape can be removed and reinstalled by heating it. Texture and satin-like finish. A product from the excellent brooks company, gives a vintage look with a cloth strap closure.

I have wrapped quite a few handlebars over the years and this is by far the most difficult tape to work with.

Price

If you are worried about that, then have your local bike shop install it perfectly for about $20.

Packaging/appearance

Really appreciated the fact that the package contained pre-cut tape for these spots underneath the breaks, adhesive under the c... Read More

Nice retro style bar tape it matches beautifully with my 80's colnago!

But gorgeous, well packaged, and high quality.

I got the antique brown and the color was much nicer than other pictures made it seem.

Competitiveness

The tape is very comfortable and provides a bit more grip than other popular tapes, which i appreciate off-road.
