BV EVA Road Bike Handlebar Tapes, Bicycle Bar Tape, Cycling Handle Wraps – 2 Rolls

This tape works very well as intended. Very comfortable on the hands and easy to install.

In order to enjoy this handlebar tape, you need to analyze the design and its intent.The 3M adhesive backing is not only referenced to while describing installing but also does not cover the entire back of the tape. Which would lead on to believe it is merely for ease of installation. This tape would never stick to bars with the backing adhesive alone. It needs to be adequately wrapped then terminated with the additional tape.However, I do believe that the seller should be more direct about this and end user likely needs to read the instructions.Onto the tape details, it's a pretty nice bar tape for the price. I stretched it pretty good to get out wrinkles and had no issues with tearing. It has a nice quality feel and appearance. When wrapped correctly (emphasis here) with the provided plugs and the additional tape for the terminating end, I forsee this bar tape lasting long enough to justify the low price and then some.Good value.

This tape isn't Cinelli, Deda, or Fi'zi:k, but it's not supposed to be. This is most certainly a budget tape that's meant to get the job done in the most boring way possible. Would I use this on my main racing bikes? Absolutely not. However, it's perfectly fine tape for my rain and gravel bikes.Several people have complained that the tape breaks either while wrapping or after a short period of use. I've also seen people complain that the 3M backing to the underside of the tape is hard to get off. Finally, I've also seen people complain that you don't get two separate small strips of tape to place behind your levers. So:1. If you break this tape, it's because you're wrapping it absurdly tight. This tape is very stretchy and flexible, there's no way you should break it.2. The 3M backing is a little bit of a pita to get off but only so in terms of it tends to break off from itself and you need to get it started again. It's not hard to remove and the sticky backing underneath the backing absolutely does NOT want to come off with the backing as I saw one person say.3. Yes, it is nice to have two strips of tape for behind levers when wrapping, but it's not necessary. Simply run a figure eight around the levers and you're good to go. Also, the listing didn't mention the strips so I have no idea why anyone would expect them. I assure you, if a kit comes with those strips, it's mentioned.Look, this tape isn't fancy, it's budget priced, plain tape. For this price point, it's perfect fine and a good buy. If you happen to find Cinelli tape for the same price when you look, buy the Cinelli. However, Cinelli isn't on sale at the moment and this is probably the cheapest decent take you can get.The one issue I had with the tape is that it's listed at .10 thick and it is, but only in the middle and it tapers very thin on the sides. That was definitely slightly misleading. However, it's a wide tape and you get 82 inches per strip, so just wrap it thick likeI did and you'll have decent padding.Finally, this is very forgiving, flexible tape. I wrapped both sides of my bars, start to finish, in less than 8 minutes.In closing, if you come upon this tape and read my review, type Cinelli in your search and see if it's on sale for the same or less than this tape. If it is, buy that. If it's not, buy this and don't go any cheaper because there's a whole lot of horrible cheaper tapes on this site.

I have an Iron Gym doorway pull up bar that has been with me for many years at this point. The padding has been tearing and I've tried taping it and throwing socks over it to keep the friction off of the pads themselves.Somehow I got the idea to use handlebar tape instead. Now it wasn't a perfect solution, but its a lot better than it was. There isn't as much padding, but it still feels nice even without gloves.I primarily have it on the middle of the bar, and continued to the right, all the way to the end. The middle feels very secure, bit the right side is coming off a bit. Thats ok because I mostly use the middle. If I had used a better technique in applying it, it probably would have done a better job at holding since the middle holds so well. The adhesive is very decent.5 stars since I'm not using it it for its intended use and it saved me from having to buy a new pull up bar.

Thick cushion. Great buy for money. Comes in 2 rolls, one for each grip. I cut one roll in 2 and it was more than adequate to wrap both sides. Very groovy like an old time movie.

I actually bought this to wrap around my cane below the grip. There was a hard plastic bit that rubbed my hand uncomfortably. After trying both friction tape and black plastic electrical tape and finding that they tended to peel off, I decided to try bicycle tape. It was very hard to choose from the various types on offer, but I finally picked this.I was immediately disappointed to find that there was only a very narrow strip of adhesive running along the center of the strip. It was not sufficient to keep the tape wrapped around the cane. How different is the metal tube of a cane from the metal tube of bicycle handlebars? I wrapped the ends with the black elastic tape that was also provided. That was the only way to get it to stay on. That still took a little fiddling to get it to stay, but it seems to work ok for now. I have yet to see how durable this will be.I'm left feeling that I could have stuck with the friction and electrical tape and ended up with the same results.

For a non-mainstream brand, this tape is pretty darn good. Flexy enough to pull while wrapping, good feel, plenty of length.

Exactly as described, easy to install by pulling off the strip on the rear that protects the adhesive. Actually used it to make a “walker” more comfortable for the patient to use.
