Handle Bar Adhesive

[RyanW]

Howdy,

Just got some new bar tape, unlike what i have recieved previously this stuff does not had a rear adhesive, am i to assume

A) it does not need it
B) i shouldnt buy such cheap tape and now need some adhesive?

If B, what do i need?

I don't think you need it (adhesive) if you get the technique right but I prefer it

If you keep the tape really tight as you apply it then you shouldn't need adhesive. Also, if you make a mistake it's a little easier to unwind it and start again if it's not glue-backed.
