Is there something that you could put beneath the cloth tape so it would feel more like a gel or corktape?

Despite the over-lap onto the clamp bulge, this looks great. Can anyone explain how there's no holding tape?

I come here so I don't have to deal with sodding google.

Second link more helpful, thanks. OK so you start at the clamp. IC.

Need to re-do the wrapping seeing Wharry and his effort.

Do you think a modern bike could pull off stealth harlequin? Would cloth tape look wrong? Would normal gel tape be too fat?

I reckon something a bit shinier, something between a leather and a gel tape - like a vinyl would look the nuts on a modern steed.

I've currently got like a matte looking Easton tape, and as it doesn't look too smart thought I'd try and clean it up. I was feeling a matte looking, flatish tape to pull it off?

"matte"

I'm sorry.

That's the tape my dads got, it's nice and thin, so should double up well. Any advice for something that's not Italian????

Best white tape for staying white anyone? just thought i'd put it out there. The Fizik glossy stuff has been the best i've found so far but its so annoying to wrap!

I've just replaced my Fizik with Bike Ribbon. Cheap as chips vinyl tape which some people think looks cheap, but I actually prefer to the Fizik aesthetically and to the touch because it's got a better "taper", so a very smooth finish (and matches better with my white Concor saddle.) I'm assuming it scrubs up all right but not used it in anger yet. I'll take a piccy if I think of it.

lizard skins cleans up well, until the outer layer is damaged and the dirt gets in deeper

Benotto. Tokyo Fixed Gear have it in white. It's plastic therefore tough totally washable. Doesn't offer much in the way of cushioning though.

easy to keep clean, tough plastic feel, looks a bit like leather, dirt cheap.

Who makes? After some dark brown cloth and this looks like the right shade

Love the brown
