Put it on my road bike when I changed handlebars, and after the first ride, I was thoroughly disappointed.First complaint... NOT ENOUGH TAPE!!!! If you make it thicker, it's going to take more tape to wrap the bars! I had to stretch it a lot, and wrap a lot less overlapped than I like to, just to get it to make it to roughly where the thicker part of the bar is.Second complaint... If you're going to make a more cushioned tape, then please make it more cushioned. With this tape, I felt like it was thicker, just because the material is less dense. But that also means it compresses more easily. And with the first complaint about there not being enough, when you have tape that compresses more easily, AND you have to stretch it out to get it to fit, AND you have to barely overlap it to get it to fit... you're pretty much defeating the purpose of the whole thing.So if you buy the chubby tape, maybe buy two packs. I think if you used 2 rolls on each side of the handlebar, you very well might end pup with a pretty comfy setup. But you could, and would, have the same result with normal tape too. So, just forget the chubby tape. Just double up on regular tape and you'll be fine. And it'll be cheaper too anyway. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ain't nobody dope as me cause my handlebars look cooool *by J*** on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2019* So aesthetically, these look awesome. They match bike well, are a cool design, and have gotten many compliments.The bar plugs dont fit my 31.8mm drops (loose as usual w/ any Cinelli), but they would've looked cool if they did. I like how with the plugs and tape, you get one C logo and one shield logo.These could be trouble for someone who hasn't much experience w/ bar tape installation...it has to be symmetrical, and you must pay attention to which roll will be left or right, depending on what you want to do (ie, keep blue stripes out like mine, or tuck blue in, or do blue stripes on drops/white holes on tops, etc)I'd prefer they were thicker. And tackier. Normally I prefer thick gel cork. These look great though and feel good thus far, I'll update if I have trouble cleaning them. Its worth mentioning that if this were the white cork, theyd be black after a couple hours and usually get one print stain in install process. I'm a mechanic, with dirty hands, but I like white...these didnt stain as easy as cork would.Bar tapes' primary role is to be a good grip. The #2 role is for it to be shock absorbing. And the #3 (#1, honestly for me) is how aesthetically pleasing the tape is. Length, adhesion, ease of install...this is good tape for price. Although it didnt come w/ the two strips to put under the shifters. Wtf?! Could be cause its from the warehouse for $17? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A hobo's life for me! *by H***T on Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2016* I've not bought any cinelli tape before, but this stuff reminds me of the old rubberised bar tape popular in the 70's & 80's. It's strong, comfortable and comes with an extra couple of strips of gel if you feel the need for that stuff. This is an upgrade from lightweight cork tape that wore out after a season, and, so far it's responded pretty well to the elements. To be honest, I liked the design and bought it for that. Needs a firm hand when being wrapped about the bars otherwise some of the turns feel loose but it's easy to unwind it and reapply. Because it's rubber, there's no need for taping near the stem, just wrap it about itself and proceed to the bar ends where the plug will secure the loose end.
