Review by AnonymousGreat bar tape.by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastBay Area, CA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.The kit includes everything needed to re-tape your bars. It is on the thicker side, and I wrapped my bars on the tight side, making the build even thicker. I mostly ride on the hoods, so I'm usually experiencing the tape when on the drops. The padding is nice, and the grip, combined with my gloves, seems good. I appreciate the added bar width, making the bar easier to grasp and shift positions on while reducing some of the pressure on the hands. Overall a good product. No regrets.

Review by BushmanClassics never failby BushmanCompetitive RacerCape Mendocino, HumboldtCinelli Cork is perfect for the classic road bike. Absorbs and is comfortable. The old school Paris-Roubaix racers used to double wrap the drop bars for the cobble stone sections (build by the romans) before gel gloves and 28c
tires. Saw the Paris-Roubaix in 2001 from the back seat of a FDJ car. Bought two rolls one for the caad7 on the trainer and the other for the new Cannondale Caad13 frame set I am building up for RAGBRAI 50TH ! Home made pie and a 500 miles week! Sweet!

Review by RobLooks good not the stickiestby RobCycling EnthusiastRoanoke, VAI tend to replace my tape often and this tape is relatively inexpensive and works well. There are some other brands that are stickier (both in terms of grip and the during installation) but this is fine.

Review by gravel riderClassic feel - great durabilityby gravel riderCycling EnthusiastOregon2 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Hard to beat classic Cinelli cork bar tape - it's easy to install, east to clean and lasts. I like it better than more synthetic variations for staying dry when its hot and I'm sweating.

Review by Oregon riderWorks Great. A perfect alternative to gel tapeby Oregon riderCycling EnthusiastDallas ORCinelli bar tape is my go to on all of my bikes. I ride rode and gravel. Not too bulky, with the perfect amount of grip. Gotten a little pricey in the last few years, but hey, what hasn't. Don't care for any bar tape with gel, so this is the perfect alternative for me.

Review by jbccThe Only Tape I Use.by jbccCompetitive Racersouth Texas1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Since the 80s I started using Cinelli Cork Ribbon. Occasionally I try some different products but always go back to Cinelli. I always double wrap my bars so I am sure the good people of Cinelli love to have me for a customer. It works well wet and is super durable. It's light and looks good. There is enough stretch so that a neat wrap job is not difficult.

Review by OaktownCyclistCan't go wrong with the original corkby OaktownCyclistCycling EnthusiastOakland, CAI prefer the synthetic stuff now (Pro or Fizik), but for a classic look you'd be hard pressed to beat this.
Buy if you have that classic ride to match.

Review by Paulm08Seems each box varies.......by Paulm08Cycling EnthusiastKalamazoo, MI5 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Ive been a Cinelli user the last couple of years. Recently, I ordered some new tape because my existing tape was old. Got the new stuff, and right out of the box the tape felt different than before. Put it on, and went on a rather lengthy ride. During the ride, I could tell within the first 15 minutes I was going to have issues with comfort, the old tape I had ripped off had much more padding than the new tape. I don't know if I received a bad roll, or if they changed something this year. Truly disappointed
