Awesome system, tape is toast in a month

On: 2008-06-22

My initial impressions of this system were very positive, and I still think the gel is a great product, but after 300 miles and a month of use, the tape started to curl up at the edges and got a slick, smooth sheen on it where I normally rest my palms. The tape feels great, it has great tooth, breathes well, and is just junk.

My advice is to buy the Fi:zik gel system without the tape, and use Torelli Moda Chunky tape for a really great system. My riding partners Moda Chunky is 3 yrs old and still going strong. For us, 3 years is over 10,000 miles.
