Review on 🚴 Enhance Your Cycling Experience with Serfas Cork Bar Tape by Douglas Berry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A solid, uncomplicated midrange tape.

I've used everything from $2 specialty tape to $40 super premium tape and decided middle of the road was the way to go. I prefer Planet Bike and it's the best value for money but this tape is very similar in quality but a bit easier to install making it more hobbyist friendly. Compared to other cork ribbons in its mount, it's a little less "rubbery" or sticky, a little less soft, but thanks to the adhesive tape it sticks firmly to the rods instead of relying on the stickiness of the tape. Stretches well when installed but don't go crazy as you will damage the tape. The length was too long for my 46cm bars - I had enough left over to partially cover the aerobar grips. Definitely recommend if you just want standard bar packaging without all the fuss, but wish there were more colors. Also note that the colors are darker and the patterns are much thinner than shown in the photos. Not necessarily bad, but know what you're getting.

Pros
  • Very Good Value
Cons
  • Small Parts
