Review on Deda Elementi Logo Tape: Quality Grips for a Comfortable Ride by Arunprasath Corso

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Like this bar tape: Cycling

Like this bar tape. For me it's very strong once applied to the bars and its edges are stronger than the softer sponge tape I've used in the past. However, I am comfortable with the bar tape because I install it myself. To keep the tape in place, I keep changing the position of my hands on the handlebars while riding to keep the tape from moving from constant pressure on an area on the handlebars. So keep this in mind if you have constant tape movement issues, especially in hot weather. This band doesn't move for me. I've had this tape in place for at least three years and it still looks like it was just installed. In most cases it is replaced due to the necessary maintenance of the rods. I also use gel padding under the tape on the handlebar tops, behind the caps over the drops and on top of the drops. Hope that helps.
