Bikes: 2010 Torker T-300, with drop bars. A vintage lugged Mercier 12 speed. A repainted, rebuilt 1986 Raleigh Pursuit road bike. 1988 Panasonic DX3000 is my fave new ride

The Fizik microtex is EXTREMELY easy to clean. Tough stuff.

For comparison, another of my bikes had Arundel tape on it. Mold started growing on it, and when I tried to clean the mold off, the entire surface texture scraped off with the mold! The mold had even penetrated into the underlying structural fabric.

Much prefer the Fizik.
