Favorite bar tape so far

I used too many rolls of bar tape on the megaphone handlebar. The Brooks leather strap looked great but didn't have much padding, was difficult to wrap and too expensive to replace when I spilled and tore it. Fizik Microtex was too smooth and too thin. The SRAM Supercork had enough padding and texture, but annoyingly the edges came off easily when changing hand position. - but also has beveled edges that don't peel off easily. I will stick with it.

Pros
  • Bar tape
Cons
  • Hard to say

Great steering wheel wrap especially for beginners

I'm not an expert when it comes to steering wheel wraps as I usually only do it every few years.

I've never had a problem with the wrapper peeling or peeling off even though it doesn't have an adhesive backing. And when it's time to replace it, you won't have to deal with sticky handlebar dirt and cables left over from old glue. The case has…

The strap is of good quality but a bit short.

EDIT 11/11/13: I just had to upgrade this to 5 stars. After covering several thousand kilometers on this band, it has become my absolute favorite! I like how it feels; I like the level of depreciation; and it still looks and feels like new. I stick to that exclusively! As others have said: This is a very good quality band and at a great price - comfortable and beautiful; Stretchy and very easy to apply/rework. Only criticism is that the buns are a bit short. If you like doing figure eights…

  • Handlebars, Headsets and Stems

Expensive feeling at a bargain price

So this is the second and third time I buy this band. I resell road bikes to make extra money and also to ride good bikes and buy expensive parts for my personal bikes. The photo shows a motorcycle Specialized Tarmac Pro 5000.00 2010, new. It was a bike I wanted to flip but decided to keep. So I don't want cheap junk on my bike. Now when flipping bikes I try to be more budget conscious than my personal stuff. The last film I personally used is a Specialized branded film on my Allez. which can…
