I had to order 3 3-packs in order to get free shipping, which made the deal worth it. I got into a CL buying frenzy a while ago so I have a ton of beat up roadies that will eventually need some slick bar tape along with a bunch of other work as I slowly relist them over time. I'll definitely use a couple sets for my own rides too, though. Its definitely fun to try out new kinds, as you said.
