I wasn't sure I had made a good decision when I bought this tape... too cheap...Easton? (I thought they made softball equipment!!)

I was wrong it was a great buy. Soft, grippy... easily installed. Plenty of length for the install.
The tape is so much better than I would have hoped and minimally packed for the environment.

As they say, Full of Win!

I have regular 10 speed handle bars and the tape runs short. Maybe I missed something in the description but it was too short for me.

This bar tape has worked well so far for almost a year. It was easy to put on and was long enough to cover everything.

I bought this tape to wrap around some bullhorn bars that I had recently purchased. I heard that Easton tape is easy to work with, and they were right. For the most part.

The feel of the tape is nice on the hands. It feels doughy, with a rigidity that is necessary for longer rides. Soft and compliant on the hands for sure. I like that it came with bar end caps as well, for those that would hypothetically need them.

My issue is that generally, novice/intermediate riders have a lot of issues with taping up their handlebars. It is a skill that must be practiced and mastered. The instructions that came with this tape is lackluster. Fortunately, they give you plenty of tape to work with. If you screw up, you should have an extra foot of tape left.

For the price, this is a very sound investment and I am impressed with this product

I have had this on my bike for a few years and am about to replace it because I want to add some gel for my old hands. I wish I would have had the forsight to put the gel in the last time, the tape is still good and is soft. The Brooklyn streets are more than you can ask any tape to handle. This is good tape with plenty of lenght, easy to reposition.

Good cushioning but a little short for a full wrap. Appearance would have been better with another foot or so, but function is fine.

I've been riding with these for a week or so now, and they feel great. Unfortunately the way they're rolled when you do one side the design will show up nicely when you wrap the bars, but if you don't start from the center of the other roll on the other side you wont have a design and will get mismatched bars. I wish I'd realized this before I finished and cut everything. If you get these be sure to pay attention when installing if things like symmetry matter to you.

I bought this bar tape simply because I needed something to make an order over $25 to get the free shipping. It was a great decision!
