Product Description
Newbaum's Cotton Handlebar Tape (Bright Red, 2 Pack): Our set of two handlebar tape for road bike rolls are American made of highly durable milled cotton. This bike wrap is one of the ultimate gifts for bikers and discerning cyclists who want that old-school look and feel. We think you'll love the tactile feel of woven cotton over any synthetic tape on the market. Cotton is more sustainable than petroleum-based foam and polyurethane used in other handlebar ribbons. The narrow diameter of this sports grip tape allows for more precise wrapping at the brake lever with minimal bulk or deformation of the hoods. Lyra hoop and Trapeze artist have also discovered our bike grip tape to be a comfortable, non-sticky athletic grip tape for wrapping their equipment. --- Road Bike Handlebar Tape Finishing Tips: Our tape can be coated with shellac to weatherproof it. Amber shellac can be used to add an earthy tone to the wrap’s color. Clear shellac can also be used. Shellacking and wrapping tutorials can be found online. Finishing tape end caps are not included. Tape ends can be secured with electrical tape or twine. The bar end side can be secured by a handlebar plug or a wine cork. … (If you need a padded handlebar alternative, Newbaum’s also offers that.) ……..

Product Information
- Superior Cotton Grip Tape: Our bright red cloth tape for bikes is made of milled cotton that is made in the USA. Each roll is 10 feet long. (Just remember that you will often need 2 rolls of cotton bar tape to completely wrap your drop style handlebar). The cotton cloth is thin and tough which allows for solid grip, necessary movement and precise wrapping.
- Easy to Wrap & Install: This road bike tape handlebar roll features an adhesive back that adds installation convenience and helps the bike bar tape to stay on securely. The slim diameter and non-synthetic cotton weave tape allows you to pull a little harder to achieve a tighter, more precise wrap.
- Real Cotton Vs. Synthetic Foam Tape: Though not a padded bar tape like most modern synthetic road handlebar tape, our cotton handlebar grip tape has BETTER flexibility and strength and RESISTS tearing better in a crash or during installation. This thin ribbon dark blue handlebar tape offers a tactile, more direct connection to the bike that professional racers in the old days preferred. Retains its grippiness better in wet weather.
- Eco-Friendly Material: At Newbaum’s, we believe in using eco-friendly dyes for a lower impact on the environment and, of course, cotton is a renewable resource. This bicycle handlebar tape is available in over 20 colors.
