 Very ForgivingApr 16, 2010
By Old Hippie
Ever go to re-tape a handlebar and you just totally mess it up? I have. I admit it. Then you need to buy more handlebar tape - and do it right the second time. This stuff is VERY FORGIVING. You can bend it - stretch it - pull on it...if you goof up, simply unwind a little & start again. Just remember to wrap the left side bar clockwise starting at the bottom & working up. The right side bar - just the opposite. Start at the bottom & wrap counter-clockwise.
Very comfy also. Good stuff!

 Great stuff!Aug 09, 2009
By SMXSteve
I'm a road biker of 25 years, this is the best tape I have ever used, far better than the Bontrager tape that came with my bike. Looks good, great cushion, goes on well with plenty of length. I have only had it on a couple of months but it feels like it will last a long time.

It's good grip tape.Oct 12, 2008
By Frederick Bryan
It's not very remarkable, but it does what is supposed to. I used it to replace some "tape" on my dad's 1760's Shwinn Varsity, and am very pleased.
On the quality: It seems great. I don't have a whole lot of experience on the stuff, but it was very easy to put on for a couple of reasons. First off, it is stretchy, and won't tear if you pull it tight. It's actually quite difficult to stretch it to breaking point (of course you can, though). It is backed with a substance that is tacky, but not like glue. It might be the same type of stuff they stick on the bottom of cycling shorts to keep them from riding up. Anyway, it's very forgiving if you mess up.
The one thing that I have noticed is that it is starting to unwind on one side. However, this is due to the way I wrapped that side. IT IS NECESSARY TO WRAP THIS STUFF WITH THE RIGHT METHOD. Google it or something. Also, the tape they gave me was not good or long enough. Have some electrical tape ready.
About the color. I bought the yellow, which was SOLID yellow and not flaked like the red-black deal in the picture. It's nice.

Good productOct 01, 2007
By psychicguy
Wrapped my tour bike handle with this (charcoal) after my previous handle tape disintegrated after many years. Looks good, feels tough. Would like it a bit more cushy though.

Good quality, minor quibblesSep 07, 2011
By Paul Randall
The tape is very forgiving, I did my wrap job 3 times before I was satisfied. It is soft and grippy to the touch, just what you would want in a handle bar covering.
Quibbles? The Earth Cork color is MUCH lighter than the photo indicates, so if you are fussy about color matching there may be an issue for you. Was expecting plain silver end-plugs according to the description, but received Planet Bike branded plugs with a logo (black on a sparkly silver background) instead. Not so wild about having brands all over my bike.
