Vinqliq Super Soft Cork Bike Bicycle Cycling Handlebar Grip Tape Wraps with Adhesive Back and Bar Plugs Review

This tape is very difficult to apply. super hard. Because it doesn't stretch much. I taped a lot of handlebars and it was one of the most difficult tasks. I give him credit for being super strong as I really had to pull him to level him. Other tapes would break. Looks great when in place. love blue. Haven't ridden it yet, but it definitely doesn't feel soft, let alone super soft. Ouch! It also doesn't come with stripes covering the back of the brake lever.

I'm in my 60's and have installed more grips than I can count - bikes, racquet grips and more. So I was surprised when the end of the wrap was missing 2 inches. I looked at my work - yes, it could overlap less - but why? The overlap was perfect. It works out? Yes. If I want to? Absolutely not. There are many handlebar tapes, just buy another one. Why waste your life boxing and re-boxing the steering wheel because the product is too cheap and worth another penny in material?

Cons: I think the reviews about the adhesive not working made a mistake I made with the small part I cut out for the hood. When I removed the white part to reveal the glue, I also removed the glue. It is not very firmly bonded to the tape itself. I learned this lesson in a relatively small piece. Also, most bar tape comes pre-cut with hood covers (and the instructions mention this piece), but you'll have to cut it yourself. Pros: It looks and feels really good! Received many compliments…

UPDATE: After a year of riding the felt texture is gone but everything else is still perfect. The band is smooth and feels comfortable while still providing good support and cushioning. White is still white, everything is still in great shape. I'm changing my rating from four to five stars. This film has an almost fine felt structure. It's the only thing I don't really like, but it's something I can live with. They look great, the adhesive strip on the back works great, the paper backing…
