Review on KINGOU Luxury PU Leather Handlebar Tape for Fixed Gear/Road Bike - With Reflective Plug by Gregory Sirgio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looking for vintage brown!

I bought 2 sets: Retro Brown and Natural Brown. Both look great paired with Brooks saddles on our blue Trek road bikes. Very happy with the look, finish, feel and ease of installation. I would be happy with maybe an extra couple of inches of wrap for each rod as I only had one hair but it's not that big of a deal. This could very well be my mistake during the installation. The wrap stretches a bit but doesn't tear easily during installation like some I've used in the past. Skiing at the weekend. It's been hit several times by heavy rain while strapped on the roof for over 1,500 miles and still looks brand new. I dived once and the road scratched it quite a bit but it never broke. Very impressive! The chrome caps are a bit cheap and one popped out. They don't have the stretch that Bontrager caps have. I just used my old caps and my wife is using extra ones.
