Iwan Kemp Posted November 24, 2009 Share Next you're probably gonna tell me people use their MTB's to ride on tar... Pffftttt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted November 24, 2009 Share Works very well until it starts to unravel. I usually relegate my old road tape to the MTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranswurm Posted November 24, 2009 Share Why on earth would anyone want to put bar tape on a mountain bike?? Why not?Mtb's do have bars.It's actually very comfortable.2 layers does the trick with thin tape.Just needs replacing more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Twin Posted November 24, 2009 Share Why the heck not????? I have been riding like that for at least 18 months will never go back to those crap grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted November 24, 2009 Share Next you're probably gonna tell me people use their MTB's to ride on tar... they ride their cars on tar to get to the trails i've got on my rigid ss, that has drop bars. two layers for a softer ride.

jagwil Posted November 24, 2009 Share I just cannot believe that bar tape can be more comfortable than a set of good quality grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranswurm Posted November 24, 2009 Share Don't knock it till you have tried it.It might change your lifeI cant stand most of the grips.Different shapes etc.And generally too thickGot a pair of Oury on at the moment which are as simple and plain as you can get.Just dont like the stickyness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted November 24, 2009 Share Bar tape is the answer. If it rips, just replace it... And it's super comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
