Used this for lawn mower handlebars and a chin-up bar for my son. Sufficiently thick and soft to reduce vibration and provides a solid grip at the same time. Also wraps around curves without creases which is nice. The only negative I can think of is if the adhesive area connects to the top of a previous layer and you try to unwrap it and use it again there might be a mark on the surface where the adhesive was released. Overall this is an excellent general-purpose grip wrap (probably good for its intended handlebar purpose too).To Cushion Gravel Bike ExtensionsThe cushioning on this is great. It looks good and does the job well. The amount of tape provided is less so make sure you have enough tape to secure it, but that’s not a big deal. It comes with 2 small pieces of tape.Be careful not to tear. Sticks well .Was very easy to install, was concerned about the color but it was actually perfect. Very comfortable and overall very satisfied.Replacement bar tape that does not break the bank. Texture is nice and final appearance is great. They are slightly cushioned and have adhesive backing as well. Overall, great bang for the buck.The end caps were too small, but overall great productPurchased whilst recovering from a minor accident, so decided to smarten up the bike, bought to go with the colour of the bike, the quality and feel of the product is excellent, the instructions clear and you can even watch a video, overall very pleased with my purchase.Like some others have said, its a real pain to get round corners of the bar you will get folds tho on them.., it's not a bad feel, i double wrapped my bars with this variant on topI’m surprised at how short these are. I got these for an indoor exercise bike, and you definitely need 2 rolls for each side. Would be nice if you could order longer rolls. The adhesive also seems very weak; I could literally peel of the entire roll with ease so I doubt these will last. The box says to refer to their FB messenger to get an instruction video. Well they don’t reply and their YouTube channel doesn’t have any videos for this product. I tried placing the rolls two different ways but no matter how I did it, it looked like crap. I’d recommend another brand, or even hockey tape, over these. I’ll probably be peeling these off and using hockey tape.I've never had such a struggle to conform bar tape to a drop bar curve before! This tape bunches and kinks as you round the drops, and is an exercise in frustration to get it to not appear amature! I'm a 66 year old cycling vet who's taped more than my share of bars...and this was by far the worst tape I've ever used! Also, it has a bulk that is extremely difficult to stuff and cap in the bar ends....PLUS, the bar end caps are too small to secure, and needed wraps of electrical tape to remove the slop!The outer layer of this tape is a plastic veneer. It should be reasonably easy to keep clean. The color does not all the way through. This means white edges show (see image). Aesthetically, it does not look great. As it wears, more of the white base material will invariably show. I have used similar economy tape in the past with a base color was closer to exterior veneer. That’s what I prefer.
