Post by: chlt3m4f10x4cln on April 30, 2025, 07:58:31 AM

I use SILCA bartape from this link and it's been phenomenal on my gravel bike. It's such a good quality I could even reuse it when changed handlebars.

There are multiple options at that link - which one is it that you love? The 3.2mm?

Wrapping with lots of overlap is another way to get effectively thicker tape.
