Zorro5614 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Double wrap. I liked cork tape on top Tyre volume and pressure still the main way to make the ride easier on your arms and hands lechatnoir, mecheng89, bradwentzel and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lechatnoir Posted July 2, 2019 Share Double wrap. I liked cork tape on top Tyre volume and pressure still the main way to make the ride easier on your arms and hands 100% with the above... but if you can't double wrap the whole bar, including drops, just do the tops from the levers inwards. Failing that, just an extra layer (or two) on the tops as a bare minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro5614 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Never could get comfy on a gravel bike. Propably because I ride with with straight stiff arms. Still struggling to this day to get my arms more bent and relaxed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underachiever Posted July 2, 2019 Share Good afternoon Hubbers! Simple question - best gravel bar tape? Or double wrapping?Double wrap my GW friend! The cheapie - which is normally thicker, at the bottom, and the nice one on the top. Only needs to double wrap the top part of the bars. mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V12man Posted July 3, 2019 Share Ritchey make a specific thick tape - double wrapped on top - comes out as about 3cm thick bars - super comfortable. Might have to import it though - I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
