Arundel gecko bar tape review.
It replaced joystick analog on my bike which although easy to wrap felt slightly distracting with bare hands because of the rubbery raised pattern of zig zags and logos.
The ride of the art gecko bar tape is just fabulous.
When wrapped from the bottom it fades to black about where the brake levers mount.
We offer a variety of both texture and color.
It lays flat on the wrapped bars and has a slightly thinner feel than the arundel cork tape.
Basic black works with every frame color so no need to worry about whether it matches.
