Brooks Cambium Bar Tape

The rubberized surface is specifically designed for all-weather reliability. Unlike cork, which can absorb moisture, this material remains tacky and secure even when wet, making it an excellent choice for year-round commuting or gravel riding.

Yes, 3mm is the industry standard for a balanced feel. It provides enough cushioning to take the sting out of rough pavement without making the bars feel too bulky or disconnected from the bike's handling.

The adhesive is strong enough to keep the tape secure during use but forgiving enough to allow for minor adjustments during installation. Just take your time during the initial wrap to ensure you have the tension right.

The included rubber bar end plugs are designed to match the tape's aesthetic and fit snugly into standard drop bars. They are durable and secure enough for daily use, so there is no immediate need to replace them.

The rubber material has a moderate amount of stretch, which is helpful for navigating the tight curves around brake hoods. Be sure to overlap the tape consistently to maintain a smooth, uniform finish.
