Handlebar tape
 

I need to rewrap my bars with new tape. I have been using Deda tape for years. It works satisfactorily, so I haven't bothered experimenting. Am I missing out on anything here?

I like Deda tape, too. Gel tapes are bit more cushy (I've got some by Bontrager). If you have problems with your ulnar nerve and fingers with vibration, Specialized makes some super squishy foam.

i hate deda tape. I used to use it and switched to bontrager tape because it is nice and squigy.

It's bar tape. You can't experiment with other tapes are are mostly <$20?

Try Fizik tape. Ride it for a month. Don't like it, replace it. Cost less than the energy bars you've consumed during those rides. Repeat until satisfied.

I love deda tape, but I use brooks leather tape now. Compliments my steel/ti frames better IMO. But if I wasn't using brooks, I'd be back to deda for sure.

I like Fizik Microtex. But I don't like squishy tape.

Heh, I would put totally put Brooks leather tape on my touring bike, but I think it would class with my carbon weenie road bike.

Very true. In that case, I would honestly stick with the deda. I tried Bontrager, and usually set other people up with it because of how plush it is, but I personally hate it.
