Thick and wide
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
For a long time I doubled wrapped my handlebar. For cushioning, but mainly because I like fat handlebar. It is very thick, even when stretched. If you like your tape thin with minimal cushioning, you should not be looking at a 5 mm thick tape The positives: - Thick and very stretchy. - Easy to wrap. - No adhesive. You can wrap and unwrap as many times to get it tidy - Despite the lack of adhesive, it wraps well and stay in place once finished. - Wider than typical tape, which is likely what you can get away without adhesive The Negatives: - Not as sticky as Lizard Skin if you ride w/o gloves in the rain - So wide, it takes few tries to get the area around the hood right

Hands down the best bar tape!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
This bar tape is easy to install, and looks clean for how thick it is. It's grippy enough to ride with out gloves on a hot summer day, and has enough cushion that even the narrowest bars become comfortable. The self fussing silicon finishing tape actually works and holds after multiple rides, with out the adhesive residue you get from electrical tape. Best advice though, is since it doesn't come with cheater strips, take it to a shop to wrap your bars or watch a few YouTube videos on how to wrap with out cheater strips.
