   Worked like a charm.
   We bought the bike comfort cork to cover torn foam on the handle of an older Bob stroller. It was pretty easy to install. The two pieces were enough to cover the area, and the result is a very comfortable handle to push. We used the black tape enclosed to secure each end.It appears the natural cork is peeking through the black dye in little specks of brown. Doesn’t effect functionality and is minimally noticeable.Compared to other options we looked at, this was the best for the price.

   WHAAAAAAAAAAT GET OUT
   So this stuff…. man this stuff. I ordered this for my Felt thinking, ‘Ok, people like the feel of the material and it is comfortable… I’ll get it just because it is cheap and looks good, shop charges too much. Here’s hoping for the best.’ BOOM. I get it. First thing i notice, it is about 99.5% black (ordered the black one), the other 0.5% is raw brown speckles of cork. I like it because it is unique and is noticeable like… freckles. It appears all solid color till you get close, gives it some hidden character. So i feel it from inside the box, felt thin and spongy. Ok. So i wrap it following the instructions on the back just to be sure I’m doing it right. Keep in mind, there isn’t sticky adhesive on the back. All up and down the strip though there is a grippy rubber substance (not liquid, being super clear here). It has just enough length to reach, wish there was at least 3 more inches but I’m not complaining. So then i test it. I BARELY feel the cables! So comfortable! This is some weird kind of squishy goodness! I’m so blown away! Previously i had bar gel inserts on what i think was cheaper quality wrap because it was thinner and not as spongy. Believe me, not gel is needed unless you have the hands of a newborn infant. I want to buy this in large quantities and line my bed with it it is that good!!!

   Best bar wrap I,ve ever used
   the box makes it look like the there won’t be enough for the whole bar to be wrapped. Don’t worry, be happy. I have a vintage Motobecane with inner brake levers and the bars remain the same size all the way to the stem and I had about four inches left over after I finished on each side. This stuff goes on easy with no drawbacks I can think of. I really like the texture. Even without gloves it feels good and mildly tacky. I don’t see how they could possibly make them better.

   Planet Bike Comfort GEL Road Bike Handlebar Tape with Reflective Bar Plugs (Black Cork)
   These are probably the comfiest sets of handlebar tape that I have used on my bike! They have a cool design on the tape, which looks like little bits of cork (given the color: BLACK CORK) and also give you lots of grip while biking. I have used these for half a year now, and they have been holding up great. Even in the rain, fog, or mist, these provide exceptional grip and can be used in virtually any kind of weather. I would recommend this quality product to anyone who needs a bike with an exceptional and high- quality handlebar tape.

   Rip off …Bait and Switch!
   I was suppose to get cork handle bar tape. I received organic cotton cloth handlebar tape. There is a big difference between the two. Cork handlebar tape has lots of cushion and cloth tape has no cushion. This was the bike tape we used during the early 80’s.

   Great product even without a bike.
   Awesome product used for atypical reason. I used this tape on the handle of my father’s walker. The cheap hand grips that come on walkers get torn up in a matter of weeks. I tried several things before finding this handlebar tape. It went on easily, has a great feel, and looks like it will last a very long time. The hard part is explaining to everyone how to get their own because apparently nearly all people are unhappy with walker handle grips.

   Comfortable but easy to damage.
   Okay handlebar tape. Comfortable but very soft and easy to damage. There is also a bit of randomness in the glue used to hold it on. I got two, one had two strips of glue and stuck well, one had one and wouldn’t stick to the bars at all.If you are using on something like Butterfly touring bars you’ll need to have extra tape or something to hold it at the lever end. I cut a taper at the lever end, wrapped it up and around the bars whilst securing each end with Nitto Electrical Tape. Then I used a short section of heat shrink over the tape, to be sure, to be sure.I think I might end up putting a more durable tape over the top and using this as a base comfort layer, before it gets shredded by daily use.
