The best bar tape for the sport

I have used this bar tape all season and have found it to be more comfortable and better than the regular innards used by regular athletes.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Doubtful

Impossible to pack - bars, headphones and stems

Total rubbish. can't rap I'd rather cut the stock tube and tap it on the handlebars than try to wrap another set of handlebars with that useless tape.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Insecure

Looks good, is not easy to put on

Feels good, but for the price you would expect better quality. The edges of the strips are hard, making it difficult for the material to stick to the bars. This creates a less seamless look. I would not recommend this product.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Negative

High quality tape

3mm thick with foam backing and medium adhesive strip. It is easy to wind up, is well stretched and forms a comfortable rubber surface. Excellent quality plugs. I didn't use tape for fabric trims - 3M 33+ tape works better (that's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars). Looks/feels very solid but we'll see over time.

Pros
  • Excellent all round performance
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

This is not a cambium

The one star rating is based on mislabeling of this product, which can be misleading. This rod film is a good quality rubber film. There are no complaints. THIS IS NOT A CAMBIA! This is her chewing gum. Cambium is a blend of cotton fibers and natural rubber. It's just rubber. I thought I was getting a much nicer product than I actually am.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Something different

Possibly the best Brooks Tape

I've used most, but not all, of the Brooks bar tape offerings over the past few years. I would say this is the best in terms of functionality and cost. Here's the synopsis: 1. Brooks England microfiber bar tape is a joke. It's the same as what other brands sell for nine bucks. In some cases this is somewhat equivalent to their saddle leather, but that is the only good quality.2. Brooks Saddles Leather Bicycle Bar Tape with Plugs (Honey) tape is good or bad. I had at least two sets of this tape…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • Vulgarity
