Review on ๐Ÿšฒ KINGOU PU Anti-Skid Bike Handlebar Tape with Adhesives, End Plugs, and Finishing Tapes - Enhance Your Bicycle Grip by Brian Kingsford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great value for money but you need to know a few details

The good stuff first: super grippy like LizardSkins. The adhesive on the back is nice and tacky which helps a lot with packing. Delivery with screw plugs! Really nice touch. Much to my shock, the finish tape was sticky enough to be useful. Didn't have to grab the tape the first time, I don't know for how long. I had extra parts for the back of the switches. I set this to neutral because that would be a plus for some people. For my 31.8 sticks, I had to tape in a few pieces of the old tape I was replacing to get them to stick properly. However, it is better than dealing with non-screw caps. Not so good: The tape doesn't really stretch, making it difficult to install and get a good finish. It would be nice if it was at least a little bit. Also, it's not the advertised 3mm thickness. When I measured it was 2, maybe 2.5mm thick. If your hands are sweaty or wet during use, they may become a little slippery. It's not bad, but it's losing its toughness. I'm not sure how he behaves with gloves on when wet. I'll try to update this if I remember as soon as I know.
