Sram Road Supercork Bar Tape - White

Espetacular e cómoda

My experience with this product comes from wrapping a 44cm road handlebar that was padded on the top section with some Fi'zi:k gel pads. I had just enough tape to complete the wrap. Before installing I measured the tape and it was 79" or 200.66cm long. I tried to maintain an overlap of about half of the width of the tape. As others have commented this tape is very forgiving so rewraps are easy if you're not happy with your first attempt. I wrapped my bars with a fair amount of tension and the tape was strong enough not to break as others have done. Tensioning the tape is important because the adhesive on the back of the tape is not intended for holding its place on the bar permanently. It just makes installation easier. I finish off the wrap with several revolutions of electrical tape. I throw the finishing tape away because it's not flexible and the tape is not flat. Some have complained that this tape gets dirty easily. This is true because the tape has a porous surface but the problem is manageable. First, I've learned to ride with clean gloves. After every ride, I rinse the gloves off and if they look really grungy, I put the gloves on and wash my hands with hand soap (the foaming kind usually). The first time I did this with some gloves I been using for a couple of years, the water was a dark brown and it took several washings before the water looked reasonably clean. Second, at least every 2-3 rides (during the summer, every other ride), I spray the handlebars with a solution of laundry soap I then wrap a clean rag around the handlebar and pull the ends of the rag back and forth to scrub the bar. A spray bottle with water or a wet rag finishes the job. I just let the tape air dry. Another benefit of keeping your handlebars and gloves clean is that if you're eating during a ride, you're less likely to ingest some really nasty germs. All in all, this tape is a real bargain. It's reasonably priced and very comfortable for long rides. Because it's so forgiving even those new to wrapping handlebars can do a proper job as many reviews of this product attest. I can see no reason why I shouldn't standardize on this tape for all my rides.

Disclaimer: I'm a new cyclist and this was my first time wrapping my handlebars I really like the look and feel of the SRAM Supercork bar tape. The only issue I had was getting it onto the dang handlebars. This was my first time wrapping my bars and so with that said here are my takeaways: 1. Depending on how long/thick your handlebars are, there may not be enough tape on each roll to do the figure-8 wrapping technique around the breaks/shifters. I tried about 16 times (wrapping, unwrapping, repeat) between the two sides and I was never able to get the tape all the way into where I felt it should cover on the inside of the handlebars using the figure-8 method that I learned on YouTube (again, I'm new to this). The figure-8 just added too many wraps to get the tape to reach all the way. 2. I would say that this tape is actually pretty good for beginners as it seems to be pretty forgiving if you need to unwrap and rewrap several times to get it right (as mentioned, I did this about 8 times per side and in the end it is still sticking quite well). 3. Feels good; lots of cushion and bump dampening, and good grip as well. Over all I would recommend this tape; certainly I can give my endorsement as a beginner that it was forgiving and allowed me to get plenty of practice before finally getting it right. I would give it 5 stars if each roll were long enough to do the figure-8 wrap around the break/shifters; but, as SRAM does provide the extra strips to forgo that technique I only dock 1 star.

Super Lenkerband! Habe mir entsprechend einiger Rezensionen vorher ein Video auf YouTube angesehen, dann war die Montage gar kein Problem. Das Band fasst sich sehr angenehm an und bildet sogar leichte Mulden für die Finger, was ich bei meinem vorherigen Lenkerband nicht hatte, aber sehr begrüße! Ich freue mich täglich an dem neuen Feeling und habe auch keinerlei Verrutschen festgestellt. Zur Fixierung habe ich, ebenfalls in Rezensionen empfohlen, Isolierband verwendet. Versand ging zügig und gut verpackt. alles prima! Sehr gerne wieder!
