Amazon.com Product Description Say no to sore hands with this handlebar tape from Planet Bike. Designed for road bikes, the tape boasts a soft, durable gel construction that becomes tacky when wet for a better grip. It's also highly fade- and water-resistant, helping it hold up to heavy use over time. And riders will love the variety of UV-protected colors, which include blue cork, white cork, orange cork, fluorescent green, celeste cork, and black cork. As with all Planet Bike products, the gel tape is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. About Planet Bike In November of 1996, Planet Bike was founded in Madison, Wisconsin. In many ways, Planet Bike began as a social experiment that dedicated itself to doing business in a different way. Instead of being just another company that develops and sells products with profit as its end goal, Planet Bike wanted to help bring about positive change for people, their communities, and the environment. Despite being a simple machine, the people at Planet Bike have always believed that the bicycle has great potential to help improve the world and the lives of the people in it. From the start, they have embraced an alternative corporate purpose which seeks to help get more people on bicycles by making communities friendlier places for the self-propelled. By donating 25% of company profits to causes that promote and facilitate bicycle usage, Planet Bike hopes to make an impact. Social experiments aside, Planet Bike was born from the heart of a cyclist with a goal of making innovative, high quality, and practical bicycle accessories. Simply put, they strive to design and develop the best bicycle products in the world. In the company's short ten year history, they have made important product innovations within the bicycle industry. Advancements include the 4-line computer which is now a standard in the industry and the world's first self-contained HID light. Not bad for a company that ten years ago started as a one man operation. Today, while still a small company, Planet Bike continues to evolve and improve their product line with the goal of always striving to build accessories that make it easier for people to ride their bikes. Since 1996, Planet Bike's financial support of the grassroots bicycle movement has totaled $500,000. By 2010, they have made a goal to donate $1 million to organizations that are dedicated to making America a friendlier place for cyclists.

Fast delivery September 5, 2010 David Simpson (San Jose CA) The tape is good quality and the delivery was three days from NY to California. 5 stars!
great tape for the price August 24, 2010 Bambu nothing spectacular, it didnt change my life but the bright colors did breath new life to my bike. Does the job and looks good at the same time.
Padded dropped handlebar August 15, 2010 profelon (USA) Although this imitation cork wrap functions well as described, it takes a bit of experience, practice to wrap in on properly. Too tight and you flatten the padding, too loose and you have more handlebar than wrap. I had to search online for instructions on how to wrap handlebar tape. After 2 tutorials, I proceeded with caution. The only issue I had was getting the end of the tape to look decent. I guess there is really no way to make it look seamless just like the beginning of the tape. If you have to trim the end of tape, trim the thinner edge, not the thick padding in the middle of the tape. That way it lays flatter if not all covered by the electrical tape necessary to hold the end in place.
great product August 10, 2010 Kurt E. Spindler (Providence, RI) Does the job extremely well. Nice and comfortable. The color is fantastic, too. Everything you need is included (tapes, etc.). The tape is tacky (but not too tacky) on the bottom, making it ridiculously easy to put on. It made a world of difference on my bike; so much more comfortable to ride now.
Solide Tape, Good Price July 23, 2010 M. Gillette I bought the two tapes, one orange and one brown, for my girlfriend and my bikes. First the orange was an awesome vibrant color and both tapes had a great squishy feel to them when they were on the handlebar. I put the tape on both bikes by myself with very light research online on how to do it and the bar tape looks great! The only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five is that the strips of electrical tape they provide to hold the ends of the bar tape down are not very long or sticky so I had to put a drop of superglue on the end of each, but that worked great so no other complaints.
