Review on Optimize your Cycling Experience with Domain Cycling Extra Long Gel Handlebar Bar Tape Wrap for Road Bikes by David Berry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic Product - Parts & Components

I'm so glad I tried this bar tape and it's the best I've ever used! I've been a keen cyclist since the 1960's and have re-glued hundreds of grips. Bars. From old 1mm thick vinyl to today's tapes with a hardness similar to the average palm. The Domain Cycling band is a bit trickier, but with the extra length it allows for a double wrap in the area where I lay my hands most often. Part of the strength of this tape is that the 90* twists at the transition from the handlebar to the end of the bar allow for increased stretch to prevent the edge of the tape from curling. This is on a Trek Farley fat bike. Attaching the bar ends to a carbon fiber handlebar. One layer on the ends of the bar and a double layer on the handlebars. By increasing the diameter of the bar and having the durometer band as close to my hands as the durometer. My PSI in my arm has decreased significantly. I liked this conversion during the test drive and I can highly recommend this product. Bought two and the handlebars for my Trek Malone nextUpdate road bike, wrapped up my Madone road bike and continue to love this product. MTB and road bike photos. Both now have three layers on the horizontal part closest to the trunk. I rode a road bike for 2 hours and my hands feel great
