Bar Tape recommendations?

[Angelfishsolo]

Can anyone give me a recommendation as to which kind of bar tape to go for. I am buying http://www.velokit.co.uk/cart_productdetails.asp?PRODUCTID=2770 these bars and am torn between either http://www.velokit.co.uk/cart_productdetails.asp?PRODUCTID=2234 or http://www.velokit.co.uk/cart_productdetails.asp?PRODUCTID=2240 for the tape.

Oh and Yes I know many people think butterfly bars are fugly but I fly in the face of fashion lol

My choice would always be non-adhesive, much easier to fit IMO

Two layers of the foam type. More comfortable.

BTW, 'handlebar tape' is called "Ribbon".

Ok thanks for that. I have not come across the term Ribbon before in relation to handlebars. Another term to log away :-)

Go to Ebay, in 'shops' type in High on bikes, mike will sell you Deda 'bar tape at £5.95, it's where I get mine (when I need it) I think he's the cheapest ( I haven't found anyone cheaper)

There's a guy on eBay selling tape for 1p plus £2.95! Might be OK for people who like double thickness tape on their bars. Put the cheap stuff underneath and the nicer looking stuff on top!

If you want a comfy bar tape, thats not paper thin, then Easton make a nice one.
