    Hi, need to re-wrap a set of bars…ideally with some tape that’s got a bit of padding as the current Fizik tape is pretty thin and uncomfortable. Wondering what tape people are using and recommend.

    Thanks, Ed

    Zipp CX. Well padded and grippy. You’ll only find it in black and maybe red though. White has vanished off the face of the earth.

    I thought the Bontrager gel cork was okay. I’ve actually just fitted some to my winter bike today (from LBS as I was in town) – £13 – easy to fit. The stem end adhesive tape strip is a bit rubbish but I always use electrical tape here anyway

    I caN highly recommend the standard Evans bar tape (FWE) which comes in a variety of colours, and I’ve just wrapped my winter steed (which has made a reappearance recently due to monsoon rains) in the 4.5mm FWE variety. Both are very good, the latter comes with some gel inserts too which are sublime.

    I’ve tried Deda and Bontrager, waste of money, use toilet paper instead – thicker and more comfy.

    The FWE stuff is 9.99 and 16.99 respectively, very well priced for the quality in my opinion.
