Silicone Self-Fusing Bicycle Handlebar Repair Tape for Secure Bonding

Tyler obrienTyler obrien: I wish I would have tested the self adhevesive strength before starting to wrap one handle. Also because it only sticks to itself its rolled up with plastic to keep it seperated. That plastic seperator is annoying and gets in the way. Made it tricky but by the time I got to the second handle I had figured out how to wrap it without it looking horrible. Go slow, have scissors handy to cut away the plastic whenever it gets to long and if you start to wrap incorrectly immediately stop and slowly start to pull apart the pieces. Smaller areas that stick together will come apart with some finagling but you're screwed for larger areas. One picture is of the poor job I did and the other is after I got the hang of it. Hope that gives an idea.

Overall it is a great wrap, that comes in different colors (if aesthetics are important to you) and makes for a comfortable slip free grip. Ill chalk it up to user error since ive never wrapped my own stuff before and wont drop it to 4 stars but would be great to include some instructions or tips for wrapping it correctly. Maybe something as simple as a qr code or link to a tutorial video.

CMartinez: This stuff is the best for finishing your bar tape. Standard electrical tape is fine, sure, but tape can unravel, and in the summer it can get loose or get the adhesive all over. Not this stuff. Don't let the width fool you because it is very stretchy. You don't have to stretch it, but a bit of stretch to really secure the end of the bar tape it better. They are not kidding about having the plastic liner on the roll. Once you cut it and apply, it seals to itself instantly. Gives a nice finished look; not too matte and not too shiny. I've never had it unravel so I'd have to say this is 5 stars of durability.

g: Forget about electrical tape or any other kind of tape for you bike. This product is great. You can do a repair in about 30 seconds and have it last a long time (not sure how long since it was purchased recently but looks long lasting). It is not sticky. It is ideal for handle bar tape repair, but seems like you could do the entire handle bars from scratch. It is not sticky. The material is not sticky, but it "binds" to itself very securely. I'm very impressed with this product. It is like a wonder of science. However, I'm not impressed with the price. You get very little for the money you pay.

Alfie: Great alternative to traditional handlebar finishing tape. No sticky residue. Sticks very well on itself. Slightly too expensive

Robert Kennedy: So far, it's better looking than electrical tape, much better adheasion, but having just installed, can't comment on durability, but it appears significantly robust when compared to electrical tape. Cut tape to length before install, wind around bars, THEN remove cellophane -- if you remove befor wrapping it will adhere and fold over on itself, becoming useless. As a mechanic for 30 years, I've had customers who are VERY concerned about aesthetics on finish tape (you know the type!) and it may not please them, at least until you get the process down. I'll purchase again

Old Dude: First of all I am OCD about my bike. I have been riding for over 40 years and have wrapped handlebars on various bikes about a zillion times. I get bored with my equipment and a cheap quick change is to install new bar tape. The finishing tape supplied with bar tape basically sucks, so like everyone else I substitute it with electrical tape, Which works fine in most cases. I ordered some of this silicone self fusing tape based on positive reviews and ended up not being that fond of it. For one, it's a tad too wide. Secondly, it has a clear plastic backing that pulls off as you are applying it and it's kind of tricky. It adheres to itself (as described). You can't pull too tight or it will wrinkle. If you install it directly to the handlebar tape it will tear the handlebar tape if you try to remove it. I tried to lay a light layer of electrical tape first, then the self fusing tape over it. I didn't like the way it looked. Pulling it off was tricky (did I use that word before?) as it self adheres and it pulls off in a big loop and you can pull until it tears, or cut it with scissors. After messing around with for about a half an hour-45 minutes, I gave up. I just went back to using...

Aaron: Very good really should be in every bike shop for finishing bar tape. Really gives a fantastic sticky free finish.

Only downside is the colours are quite dull. I got orange but isn't as vibrant as I was expecting. They had no black when I ordered.

In all absolutely recommended.
