WR 1.0 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Hi all, So how do you keep your white bar tape nice and clean? thanks!
bduplessis Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Clean and green,on a peace of cloth.Then you must just rub it.
GreyOwl3.0 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 You must be a Euro Pro to ride white bar tape dude! I wish they still made the white glossy tape...showing my age now I guess?!
turtlek Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 handy andy and polish it like you would polish a shoe!
TNT1 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 You must be a Euro Pro to ride white bar tape dude! I wish they still made the white glossy tape...showing my age now I guess?! Hey, I just put white tape on my bike... and yeah, that glossy one was the bomb...
WR 1.0 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 I was expecting some comments like this.It seemed like a good idea at the time!simply dont use white bar tape!
Captain Slow Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Stop using it to wipe your Az!!Captain Slow2009-06-05 04:19:10
Bike Mob Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Wash your hands before every ride. and if your chain comes off...wait for the team car to put it back on. wash glove after every ride... will cut down the scrubbing. Cork tape is easier to clean than fizik tape or BBB/Ravx gel type tape.
WR 1.0 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 mmmmm i've got the fizik ones! damn... should have gone for the black one!
Moab Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 mmmmm i've got the fizik ones! damn... should have gone for the black one! Yup! Rookie !! You could always get shares in Fizik and get a box of them and change them after each ride! Or just change them to black.
WR 1.0 Posted June 5, 2009 Author Posted June 5, 2009 Yip, guess the money I'll save on cleaning stuff should pay for the black tape in no time! ps. share your sentiments on the chefs direct!
harry1 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I was expecting some comments like this. It seemed like a good idea at the time!simply dont use white bar tape! just pulling your leg the white fizik is the better option it doesn't get nearly as dirty as the other ones !!
turtlek Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 mmmmm i've got the fizik ones! damn... should have gone for the black one! i dont understand why people complain about cleaning the fizik tape it takes alittle bit longer then cork tape and actually stays white where as cork tape goes brown after a few washes no matter what
Guest colonel Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Parafine and a paint brush before you do the chain. Let it soak and then use whatever you using to wash the bike with clean green or whatever and a light scrub and its better than new and stays clean for longer.
