VINQLIQ Retro PU Leather Road Bike Bicycle Handlebar Grip Wraps Bar Tapes With Bar Plugs (Black (With Breath Holes)) Review

Good looking, easy to apply, has an adhesive strip on the back. Long enough to wrap even poles. It's a nice warm shade of brown, I wish it was even darker to get closer to the coffee brown of an old Raleigh.

It feels cheap, it folds on its own rather than stretching when wrapped, it has no braking sections (although they are listed) and it's too short to make a standard to wind folding rod . This would be my first negative experience with a handlebar tape. It's pretty hard to screw up, but here it is.

I have used this to replace some old similar road bike belts. The color was relatively similar. What impressed me the most is that I successfully wrapped the handlebars and it also feels pretty good when I grab it. There are some pillows, just enough to be comfortable. I've never wrapped, I watched the video on YouTube and I'm happy with the results.

Probably the worst handlebar tape I've ever tried. Fifteen dollars is the average for a bar tape. With that, however, you might as well take your money, roll it up, and smoke it out. This material is so low that the self-adhesive backing doesn't even stick, feels like bubble wrap, and comes with no hood tie. I returned it the moment I tried to apply it. Buy Origin8 cork tape at this price.

First of all it looks great on my bike. I've been using this tape on my track bike for about 2 years now and it's very uncomfortable like there's nothing there at all. I use gloves when cycling so I don't feel so uncomfortable. And my reason for not switching to a more comfortable bar tape like cork is that this bar tape is very stylish and wears pretty well. If style and looks are more important to you than comfort this is for you, otherwise I recommend something more comfortable.

I bought two of these because I was planning to wrap the handlebars twice but the tapes are so cushioning that I don't had to have it!, and on top of that i liked them so much i decided to keep the extra one, now i have it. Great look, great color and great feel. Very flexible and easy to use. My only wish would be to have maybe a few inches more material. I literally have to use every inch of that tape, but I'll admit it's my fault because I use a fair bit of tape to actually wrap the brake…
