Not elastic? Kind of short.

This strap needs to be longer to wrap around a 44cm pole. It doesn't stretch, so it's difficult to wrap well around tight handlebar bends. I preferred the previous expensive envy band.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Newer model could have been selected

Great bar tape! for steering wheel tape

I only use steering wheel tape. Most of the time I ride with my bare hands, which is great even if my hands are a little sweaty. It's a little shorter in length than most other brands, so you'll need to wrap it around a bit so you can reach it. But I had no problems with 44cm or 42cm handlebars.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small house
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

Feels good, looks crisp

Feels good, looks clear. This material is slightly thicker than 2 layers of cotton tape. Some gel pads under the band will work if you want. I don't wear gloves but with this tape I might have to drive over 2 hours or so. I don't love her and I don't hate her. I will not buy again.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Empty

Plenty of tape suitable for bar tape

Just received and installed this tape. Two things so far: 1. Unlike other reviewers, I had a lot of tape for 44cm bars. I wrapped, leaving about 6 inches of stem on each side and also trimmed 2-3 inches of tape from the ends.2. I like that feeling a lot. The grip is quite soft. I expect to enjoy it as I'm one of the sweatiest people in the world and I live in the south. Nothing to say about durability yet, will be updated in the future. Supplied with parts for lever and 2 end straps. If it…

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Nothing here

My favorite bar tape is Lizard Skins

My favorite bar tape is Lizard Skins, but it has two disadvantages: It's expensive and gets slippery with sweat build-up in the summer. Arundel Gecko Tape works well when wet, has no durability issues and is comfortable to the touch. If you're using Di2 sprint switches and need to cut the strap, ripping the rest of the strap is no problem (sometimes a lizard skin problem). I've read several complaints about not being able to fill the entire bar. I have no idea what people do to need so much…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things
