About this deal

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Handlebar Tape. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Fabric Knurl Bar Tape.

The ESI Grips NEW RCT Wrap is made from silicone which is a stretchy and grippy material. It is also non-porous which makes it resistant to wear and tear. If you wish to return your bike to us please keep it in the box it arrived in and call us on 01772 644340 and we will arrange a collection.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Handlebar Tape. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product. More important than color is how it wraps. I’ve found some tape that is difficult to stretch and pull around levers, but the Knurl tape does so quite handily. It’s easy to maintain good spacing — even for a wannabe wrench like myself. The bar ends are easily-inserted and offer a nice finishing touch beyond simple push-in end caps. A little extra color aboard the Trek Domane SLR Disc. When it comes to wrapping, some synthetic bar tapes are high-stretch, making it easier to wrap the tape around brake levers and hoods.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Fabric Knurl Bar Tape is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation. As we said in the pricing part of the review, brand is a really important consideration, but especially so when looking to buy Handlebar Tape. But as you’re probably already aware, you’re on to a great choice if you do go with Fabric, as they’re a fantastic brand, making amazing products. Fabric has proven their mettle in a short amount of time by delivering top-quality components and accessories. Their Knurl tape is a great example of a simple, but stellar product that’s comfortable, grippy and durable. It has a smooth design without raised textures or embossed logos. The beveled edge allows for a seamless overlay that will mold to your grip for a no-slip ride. Saying that, though, most bar tapes aren't exactly what I'd call value for money these days with many costing north of 30 quid.

Refunds

The material of the handlebar tape is an important consideration when looking to buy one. Your choice could determine the tape’s other features like grip, cushion, or durability. There are so many to choose from depending on your choice of material and need. You can choose from the traditional cotton, plastic, vinyl, cork, foam, or leather if you want to go old school. The length of bar tape can also impact wrapping. If you are wrapping particularly wide bars, say on a gravel bike, then you will have less material to play with.
