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
