Have anyone use it? Looking to see if is worth the premium.

I use it to finish my bar tape. Just because the electrical tape can come loose in the heat. The silicone tape never does. Some just use it to wrap aerobar sticks instead of bar tape but I’ve never done that myself.

Yes. It’s basically a way to make your own rubber band. It doesn’t stick to the bar/tape, so you hold the starting point. You’ll want to cover the starting edge side-to-side, and you’ll need to manipulate the stretch to get the perfect clean application and tightness. Keep in mind when you stretch…

So you think it worth the premium over regular electrical tape (I mean… the good weather proof tape)

Well…to me the electrical tape just doesn’t work. :grin: And I hate grabbing onto a sticky, gooey mess that slides off the handlebar. So I’ll pay anything to fix…meaning I’m probably not the most discerning consumer, here.

Buy better electrical tape :wink:

This sounds like a great option for wrapping cables and hoses together?!?

redlude97: 3m super 88 Thanks! I think I will buy the electrical tape for now and give a good brand one another try… if it doesn’t work, then I’ll try the silicon tape.

@mailman these cables have been wrapped with silicone tape for about three years: [image] Also good for a crude aero-enhancement to the stem on this gravel bike festooned with the selcof aero-drop-bars: [image]

Yes. Buy good stuff. And… Don’t pull it tight when you wrap your bars. Just put enough tension on the tape to keep everything in place. Especially on the outside wrap of the tape. This will keep it in place longer and prevent it from making that sticky mess when it slides back.

Stuff is great and has lots of uses. Quieted a squeaky glove compartment door with it.
