What road bike do you have?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

They're actually real, the fact that they were pulled out of a bra and held together by the lycra jersey makes em really "pop".

Onegiant, is there any difference between Deda Glass and Cinelli Jelly? I run some Cinelli Jelly, but it doesn't quite pop as well as your Glass. Is it just in my mind, or are they different?

To be honest, I never used the Cinelli Jelly tape or even seen it. I thought the Deda Glass tape would be like the clear champ grips, kind of cloudy. But, it is absolutely clear. It is a bit pricey tho. Cheapest I've seen it was on PBK.
