Rubber Gecko Handlebar Tape
Description
Serious fans of Arundel's bar tape tend to use several versions throughout the year. The standard Gecko Grip tape is a favorite for wet conditions, but some cyclists have asked for a little bit more cushion. Arundel developed the Rubber Gecko Handlebar Tape in response. Not only do you gain some more foam cushion, the natural rubber outer layer has a more substantial feel than the polyurethane used on Gecko Grip. So overall you get a tape that has just a little bit more cushion from the loft, but considerably more comfort. Our best selling wet weather tape has just gotten better for riders who hit the gravel, trail, or raggedy urban streets when rain, fog and high humidity dominate the 10-day forecast.
The Rubber Gecko Handlebar Tape wraps normally, like most non-silicone tape, with a bit of stretch so you can get a perfect overlapping finished wrap. Two 2200mm rolls will easily cover most bars, even a 46cm model, so you have great flexibility in how and what you wrap. Two bar end caps finish off the perfect wrap.
