Black. First job on the Boardman MTB was to throw the white grips.

Makes holding the bars more comfortable and absorbs a little of the vibration.

My last years Xmas present was a new Cube road bike with bright orange stem and handlebar tape. View attachment 360987 Now I always ride with full light weight gloves initially because on my MTB the heat use to make the grips sticky but now with the tape being so bright I wear gloves to keep them clean so keeping my bike in top order, apart from wearing gloves can anyone make any more suggestions to protect the bar tape?

Have your hands removed and replaced with robot grabbers, clean grabbers regularly and clamp firmly into bars when riding.
