Tape

mattsccm

Go on, suggest some bar tape for me. Needs to be available in bright and shiny not matt like cork type tapes. ( and I am not using Benotto!) Smooth or rubbery as long as it scrubs up once in a while. Ideally on the long side as they do vary a bit.
Ideally not 30 quid plus.

Selle Italia Smootape Controllo.

Cinelli Tennis tape is very rubbery/grippy and comes in a shiny black but wouldn't call it bright.

Fizik Performance. I have this in white and it keeps its colour pretty well. The surface is a bit shiny so doesn't absorb the muck.

Lizard skins DSP?

Fizik Classic is good stuff and pretty good price-wise - I prefer the more pricey Tacky Touch tape, but it's not glossy.

Deda carbon tape on all my bikes (mostly in white) and cleans up easily with a sponge and a bit of soapy water. Had one set on for 5 years and was still in good nick. Has a sheen to it but is still grippy to hold. Comes in at about £7 a box.

Supacaz bar tape is great, slightly tacky to the touch so your hands don't slip, tough (had a spill and it didn't rip) and cleans up well, not cheap at around £25 for the 2 tone stuff (I have neon blue and black) but very good quality and the bar ends are the ones with the screws that make it expandable so fit is spot on.

Lizard Skins is my current favourite. Only slight negative to report is that I find it wears relatively quickly where I tend to rest my hands - where the bars bend just behind the ergos. Otherwise perfect for me.
