Everything worked right away

I've been a cyclist and maintenance myself for a long time, but I never knew how to put tape on the handlebars. This stuff is easy to make and looks professional. Just watch the bevel and hold it tight enough. The silicone sticks to itself a bit which makes it hold tight. Can't comment on durability yet but I'm very happy with how easy it ran, how it looks and how comfortable it is to ride for a few months.

Pros
  • Probationary period for one year
Cons
  • Other Other

This is not an authorized seller of ESI Grips

This is not an ESI Grips. The tape was very stiff and wouldn't budge when trying to wrap it. I had to try wrapping it three times to get it in the right spot for my hand to grab. They started falling apart before I even finished the second side of the handlebar. Buyers Beware of this fake company. Go directly to ESI Grips to purchase. They had great customer service and made me a repeat customer!

Comfortable, durable, saves every penny

I was thinking of trying the RCT wrap as a replacement for a worn out Lizard Skinz bar tape as I am using ESI Chunky grips on another bike to great effect. The RCT WRAP is very easy to install, there is no backing tape to fiddle with (the tape is silicone and sticks to itself), there are plenty of handlebar pads, and after the first 300 miles on Iowa winter gravel I'm in love into it. Looking as good as it did the day you installed it If you're looking for a new bar tape that's comfortable andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Something different

Great cushion easy installation but grey, not black

other people managed to make real black silicone but not ESI. They match the gray (black lettered) grips I have on the bottom of my flip bars where the top is made of this silicone. who i love Installation is very easy as it does not stick to itself. So removing to adjust was cake. Removing the cables is also easy. Too bad LBS always tries to ask me to rewind a new tape instead of trying to reuse it, no excuses this time. Excellent cushioning on bumps and better bike control. If only it wereโ€ฆ

  • cool product
Cons

Love this grip tape

Love this tape! I ride my bike on rough city streets year round and this tape handles it well. It dampens vibrations, protects against rain and sweat and still looks great after 5,000 miles. The only reason I'm swapping it out is because I made the mistake of using the included tape to secure the ends of the bar tape. The tape included in the kit adheres (vulcanizes) to the bar's silicone band, making it impossible to remove without damaging the bar's tape. This makes it difficult to rewind the

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Reliability

So far so good good grip fit

I have the signature Lizard Skin band on all three of my road bikes and it feels good and provides good grip. The problem I have is that since I'm not comfortable driving in drops I'm always on the hood and where my palms make contact with the steering wheel I get a lot of wear. Lizard Skin is a soft, white foam covered with a thin, adherent layer of colored leather. That thin layer wears off after a few months or half a year and reveals a white foam underneath and it looks bad and that'sโ€ฆ
