Good tape until you try to take it off

On: 2009-05-02

Bought 3 packs of the black tape at a great deal. I was trying to be frugal and get some less expensive bar tape. The carbon texture is a bit shiny and I worried that it might be slick in the rain, but it felt fine when wet. On the bike, this bar tape works as well as any other.

After a couple of months I needed to remove it for some cable maintenance. Well, that is when I found this tape not to be such a great deal. The adhesive on the underside of the tape is strong and when removing the tape, it tore apart, leaving only a strip of material on the bar where the adhesive backing was.

After picking, peeling, and using some adhesive remover, I was finally able to remove the rest of the tape. I still have 2 packs of bar tape that will go unused. Anyone out there who needs to rewrap their bars and would not need to rewrap them again for a while, this might be the tape for you. Hey maybe Ill send you a pack. ;)
