"The rubber backing (which is not adhesive) doesn't hold very well and I have to rewrap my bars every few weeks. Otherwise the tape is noticeably more comfortable and has reduced hand fatigue, and it is also much more durable than ordinary cork tape."

Good value bar tape
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Adjustable
"I actually bought this bar tape because I am on crutches at the moment after I broke my hip in a training crash, and it makes the crutches much nicer to use. There is plenty of cushioning and it's every bit as good as the gel bar tape that came as standard on my Specialized Roubaix. The only thing that lets it down (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is the quality of the finishing tape, i.e. the plastic tape that you wrap around right at the end. This was nowhere near sticky or stretchy enough to do the job - but a spare bit of black electrical tape did the job nicely."

Supreme Bar Tape
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Versatile
"This is my first purchase of any bar tape. The bar tape is relatively easy to apply.
The red version goes supremely well with the cayo 2.0 ultegra. The feel is very cushioned and plush whilst providing a good deal of handling and feel from the bike.
All in all, this is a great bar tape, however I have yet to consider others brands such as Fizik etc.
Well worth getting in my opinion."

GOOD TAPE
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight
"Good quality tape which will long good for a long time. However, why describe it as "black" when in fact it has small light-coloured flecks in it. This I found annoying."

Nothing special but does the job...
"Easy to apply, stays put, comy and lasts well. What more do you want from your bar tape?"
