Bar Phat tape, alternative

slowclimb · 2012-07-23T09:44:46+01:00

I am getting sore hands on my cross bike and was thinking of putting some Specialized Bar Phat tape on, I've got it on my road bike and like it. Problem is, and I know this is shallow,... I cant seem to find it in white! Does anybody know if you can get it in white or recommend another gel type tape that would do the job that does come in white!

It was recommended by a crosser mate.
It will also be the only Zipp product I can ever afford! 🙁

i use any old (white) bar-tape on my CX bike and either put gel inserts or a few bits of old bar-tape cut-offs under the tape, placed in the elbow of the drops and on the tops just to provide a bit of extra padding where it’s needed

may be an option if you’ve having vanity issues
