Review by AnonymousReviewed 9/8/2020by AnonymousEarth Arundel Rubber Gecko tape, black I would not describe it as being 'soft' or 'comfy' even though it is a bit thickish. But nevertheless it is serviceable.

Review by EricReviewed 7/25/2019by EricCycling EnthusiastArvada, CO1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Wore Out in 30 DaysThis bar tape wore out in 30 days. The tape is embossed with Arundel. Where your hands touch the embossed part is where the grips wore out. I have never had a grip tape wear this fast.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 4/1/2019by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastOrange County, CALooks good at a reasonable priceI ordered white tape which is always chancy. This went on easily, feels fine, and looks nice. I have used it on about a dozen rides and it seems to clean up well.

Review by EricReviewed 10/30/2020by EricCompetitive RacerCentral Coast, CA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Nice tape once installed. Beware though: Installation isn't easy!Tape is really nice once it is installed. I didn't like the way it handled when I was wrapping. It didn't want to lay flat on the bars. It seemed the only way I could get it to wrap was to overlap by much more than I should have. Ultimately, it ended up fine, but came up short by about 1.5 inches. Also, the glue on the tape is super tacky, so watch out. If it touches the front of your tape, it will likely damage the surface.

Review by delbikerReviewed 9/22/2020by delbikerCycling Enthusiastsouth coastal Delaware1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Nice tapeAt first, I was not sure I was going to like this tape. After a few hundred miles, I do, in fact, like the feel and grip it provides. Easy to install and my impression is that it is going to be functional for a long time. The blue color was bit off from what I was expecting, but that is a normal occurrence for me. Not sure that I would purchase it at full retail price, but again, that is not unusual for me.
