I am getting sore hands on my cross bike and was thinking of putting some Specialized Bar Phat tape on, I've got it on my road bike and like it.
Problem is, and I know this is shallow,... I cant seem to find it in white! Does anybody know if you can get it in white or recommend another gel type tape that would do the job that does come in white! :D

    Specialized do gel pads that will fit under most tapes so that might be one solution.
  • I'm sure Fizik do gel pads also that go under any tape - I also think you can get Spesh Roubaix tae in White and it has gel in it.

    Zipp Service Course tape is seriously cushioning and definitely would not need added padding. It's more robust than Specialized tape and comes in black or white.

    I use Sorbothane sheet cut to size under my bar tape. Great stuff but not cheap (although I don't know how much bar gel pads cost).

    Just get some nice white tape and put it on over your existing tape - nice and cushiony and the finish you want, simples!!!!
    Yellow is the new Black.
