white cork tape
 

a+ in my book.

gets too dirty too fast. i think that is true with all colored tape with the exception of black.

white lightning isnt just for chains, you know?

its also for sliding off yer bars! cool

white cork tape is classy, but it looks trashy after a couple rides.

Clear shellac on top. Anyone tried or seen that?

Dirty white tape = street cred.

i haven't cleaned mine but supposedly simple green shines em right up?

bar soap like dove or ivory, or even dish soap like dawn will make them look brand new again if for whatever reason you dont have any white lightning around.

Fizik white tape is the best **** ever. Durable, looks great, stays clean.

Does fizik white tape ever get dirty? Or do you still have to wipe it down every week w/ soap..

Yeah, it gets dirty, but I wipe it down as-needed.

yeah, my friend has some fizik white tape, (pricey) and it always looks clean.

I think Fizik tape is only like $16 or $17 at REI. Not too bad, and since it typically losts longer than standard cork, it's a relative bargain.

the fizik perf tape is durable and feels great, but it offers negligible cushion, similar to track grips. if that matters.

i ran white tape for about two days on my road bike. couldnt take how nasty it got. granted i am sewing up a white messenger bag as we speak, but thats not the point

i'm going to flip and chop my crappy stock mercier drops and put some white tape on them. maybe red.

I ran white cork tape for the past couple months and it got cruddy. Maybe I need to wear gloves more often (waiting for winter...).

Perhaps a bit vain, but I didn't like the bright white drops and dirty-ass white tops and bends, so I changed it out for red perf fizik tape today. I agree that the padding is rather minimal in comparison, but we're almost in every-day glove season here :)

Black and only black. That way nobody (me, most importantly) notices all the grease and snot and buggers spread out across my tape.

I have white cork tape on my flip&chops. It is dirty. I don't care.

Fizik FTW. I have it on both of my bikes. It is worth the $16. Black is not as nice as the other colors, IMO. It just doesn't have the same feel.

Only cool if you have a white saddle too.

Word.

I love the aged looked of dirty white tape. I never clean them.

Yeah, I bought some black without touching it first. It's kind of gross and felty feeling. Not at all like the others.
