Review by iggyssdBreaks apart too easilyby iggyssdCycling EnthusiastSanta Barbara0 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Although a good deal for the price, started having cracks in a few places. Then when unwrapping, it would break apart too easily leaving part of the tape on the handlebar. The sticky strip may be too sticky.

Review by Avid cyclistMy favorite 2.by Avid cyclistCycling EnthusiastPDX2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.I have these on my 3 road bikes. They are inexpensive, look good, right thickness and comfortable. I was skeptical with the fake carbon look, but today I give it a chance with White carbon on my black bike and it turned out better than I expected. The only thing I dislike about these tapes is the adhesive glue they use, it's kind of over strong glue they use for the tapes, so every time I remove the old tapes, it leaves a lot of residues on handlebar that requires some extra cleaning. Other than that, these are super value!

Review by em_525Excellent as long as it doesn't rainby em_525Cycling EnthusiastAs others have said, when this tape gets wet, it's very slippery, especially out the saddle. When it's not wet, it's a good to very good tape, that's easy to wrap, has decent shock absorption, and looks smart. However again, this tape is slick when wet and bordering on somewhat dangerous in that type of condition. I put this tape on a track bike that isn't seeing the outdoors so I'm keeping it but if you cycle in varied climates, I'd consider something with a bit more tack to it.

Review by HornbeamSlippery when wetby HornbeamCycling EnthusiastSt Pete,FL1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.When the weather is dry this is averageok bar tape. When it is wet outside (I live in Florida so you will get wet) this bar tape is very very slippery. Ask me how I know...Good thing I didn't lose my front teeth.

Review by AnonymousA bit lacking in padding, but also lower costby AnonymousCompetitive RacerSeattle, WAFeels nice, but it doesn't provide as much padding as some of the other bar tapes. On the other hand, it is a lower cost option than others.

Review by 50x11Easy to install, looks great, excellent grip and comfort!by 50x11Cycling EnthusiastCalgary Canada 3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.First time I've used the Deda bar tape as I've been a long time Fizik microtec user. So far I've been pleasantly surprised, the tape was very easy to put on and looks great with the Deda emboss adding to the looks and the grip. The tape is just flexible enough to make for a very neat job. Comfortable on the hands without being too bulky. Excellent value.

Review by celeste_cycleGold!by celeste_cycleCompetitive RacerSacramento, CA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.It's available in gold, do I need to say more?? Easy to install, stretchy enough that if you mess it up you can rewrap. Not the grippiest tape out there.. Riding Fizik high gloss on my other bike, much grippier than the Deda.. Still serves it's purpose well, if you lose your grip it's not the tape, it's you. Looks sick in Gold on my Celeste Cavaria with Gold TRP brakes.
Happy Riding!

Review by USA1169Good value. by USA1169Cycling EnthusiastHood River, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.The trade off with soft tape is the edges tend to curl up a bit with heavy use. I get about one season of heavy use out of this tape and then replace. On my third set... very happy with it over all.

Great hold and feel on your bars when finished!
A kid could do it... The last time I wrapped a handle bar was 30 years ago this was a cake walk.
I'm going to buy a couple more colors so I can change it.. when I drop the bike or wipe out or just get tired of the look... It was that easy
