YES It's Too Short! YES It's My Favorite!
Yes, It's too short, and Yes, it's my favorite tape so far!PROS: This tape has a nice grip but it's not super squishy and rubbery like the cork tapes. It has a sort of smooth finish on the outside layer and the edges are tapered more so the overall look and feel is more smooth. I like that the logo is fairly small and on the edge, making it easy to completely cover while wrapping. I've started hating the over-the-top branding on everything bike related, so I find myself removing stickers, painting over logos, etc. Like, I probably won't use Cinelli tape again for this reason, but I also don't like the squishy rubber foam feel.CONS: It's too short! It's annoyingly too short by about two wraps. I think maybe, just maybe, you could make it if you don't wrap around the brake levers--But! it would cost the manufacturer about 1 cent more to include enough tape! Anyway, be careful, and figure out in advance where you want to sacrifice your tapeless area.I have added a photo to show the tape texture and also where I filled in the end with some hemp twine that I found at Walmart. I was planning to finish the end with twine anyway, but not 2 inches of it!
