Can you buy (fizik) bar tape finishing strips without the tape itself?

[nickAKA]

I've just swapped the flat bars on my hybrid for touring bars, but after a ride & a rethink I could do with repositioning the brakes & trigger shifters 'outward' meaning losing a few rotations of tape & redoing the finishing strips. Schoolboy error I know, should have tried it before putting the finishing tape on but there you go, you live & learn!
So the question is can you buy those finishing strips (nice logo'd fizik ones) without buying another set of tape (which will obviously then not have finishing strips, etc etc)?

I reckon not. Shame, because I've just binned some Fizik and Lizard Skin ones. I wrap my tape the old fashioned way, centre outwards, so don't use the strips.

Tempting, but black & white bike means black or white doesn't it? Wonder if I can get some ZEBRA tape!

People ask whether it is 'duck tape' or 'duct tape' ... Well, that one is both!

Of course Not! Black and white bike means you can use tape in any colour you want!

Have you tried grabbing them on twitter or FB messenger? They may be willing to drop some in the post to you. No harm in asking.

Exactly, it will liven up a dull looking bike

Best way too - when did it change?

Yep, used to be annoying when ppl used duck/duct interchangeably until discovered this particular brand... now I direct all that Lingua-hatred towards them.

And I'm downunder have bought zebra Duck tape locally at retail stationers.

World's a small place although Postage has gone up a lot. These days The Queen's Mail is wanting over ten squid to send just a small packet of hardware; I'm told just a few decades ago, for a tenner one could've shipped a whole adult human down this way from ole London Town.
