My dedicated trainer bike needs a new tape job. Any recommendations an what people like. It has been a while since I got tape. [image]

Who doesn’t want their bike to look fantastic?

I’ve had success with Cinneli Gel Cork tape, but my vote for best tape goes to Fizik performance tape. I’ve never seen white tape stay that white and clean that easy before in my life. I’ve also used the SRAM SuperCork for some cheap stuff and its good too. I absolutely hated supacaz though. It wou…

I’ve think that you are the only person I’ve ever heard that doesn’t like Supacaz. usually people gush over it.

FWIW, I tried installing Supacaz Super Sticky Kush last week on my road bike. It was a total fail. While comfortable and it appeared durable, it was too thick to tightly wrap around all the curves in my bars (they have an additional curve on the drops for the palm of my hands). Within a week it …

This is what I’m hoping the Enve tape could be…
