If it's anything like the Fizik tape, I'm guessing you use tons and tons of tension.

There I was thinking the Eleganza might be easier to wrap than the Fizik bar tape, it took me a while to get used to wrapping it properly.

I'm guessing the Prorace Eleganza from PBK is the same basic tape.
Mine came w/ a peel off sticky strip on the back, and yes, LOTS of tension. I had hand cramps when I finished wrapping them.
However, I'm really liking the tape... it has a tacky grip that doesn't get wet and slimy.

I'll probably get that once my Fizik Microtex is done because I really like the look of the Eleganza tape and since I've already had the experience of wrapping tape that requires a lot of tension I should be fine.
