Purple Bar Tape
 
Hey where can I buy purple bar tape online
LBS doesn't carry it
Somas says out of stock or it isn't available
Found some at bontragers but is that the tape where like you tape your bars up then you have to put a piece of tape at the end to hold it in place instead of the stuff that is sticky on the bottom so it just sticks straight on to your bars as you wrap

Non-adhesive tape isn't as bad as it sounds. It can just be a bit trickier to get started.

non adhesive tape is the ****, i always peel the adhesive strip off tape . in any event, you should be using finishing tape with or without adhesive tape.

Have you asked what your LBS can order? Not having to pay shipping is nice.

huh? even with adhesive-backed tape you still have you use finishing tape at the end (at the stem)
unless you wrap from the stem to the drops. But that's wrong.
