kurtis G Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Basically i currently use Trialtech foams, but i'm in need of a new pair and i'm not sure whether to give Try-All bar tape a go. Has anyone had any experience with Try-All bar tape? f so is it easy to get your leavers on and off with it? As i bath bleed my rear brake regularly Thanks in advance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Trials Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Not had experience with the Try-all stuff but bar tape is usually self adhesive and once removed you replace it as the glue often stays behind on the handle bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the mysterious leemur Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 They rip your hands up pretty bad man , the trialtech foams are much better ,if you're dead set on tape get some tennis grip tape which is cheaper and imo better too.

Luke Rainbird Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Either way, it'd be worth learning to bleed your brakes properly to save yourself a shitload of effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 I used some generic bar tape before I got trialtechs and I was in absolute agony after every ride and my hands looks like they'd been chewed on by a hungry moose. Didn't last too long either, ripped really easy anorl! But not sure how the try-all differentiates from the stuff I had. Using trialtechs again now and my hands are looking more beautiful than ever and i've been riding shit loads more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
