Review on Deda Elementi Logo Tape: Quality Grips for a Comfortable Ride by Robert Ogrodnik

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Easy to install but will snap if stretched too much

I used black carbon tape for the bars before. Easy to apply and durable. But it will break if stretched too much. I learned it the hard way. A bit slippery in hot weather when hands sweat. It's also a bit thick for my taste. I went back to Cinelli Cork Gel. I prefer a little cushioning and this material is almost zero. It's funny how you can use things for years and then suddenly I don't like them anymore.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • not reliable
