About Bar Tape

Bar tape adds the finishing touches to your pride and joy, you can go for colour coded bar tape or even carbon fibre bar tape, but it's not there just to look good, it actually serves an important function by absorbing road vibration and providing a grippy surface for you to hold onto. Cork tapes offer high levels of road vibration absorption, to get even higher levels of comfort you can use gel pads under the tape on points of regular contact if needed.

About the Cinelli brand

Cinelli's fame dates back to 1919 with typical Italian flare and beautiful designs. Cinelli frames and racing bikes are legendary in racing history. The carbon monocoque Ram and Bat handlebars benefit from the latest carbon technology. The chic urban Cinelli Bootleg Rat bikes, reflective and gel cork bar tape are niche specialities.

Cinelli AVS Gel Pads 4.1 5 58 58

Great product I fitted these to my communting bike and they make a huge difference. They are straight which means you have to bend and tape them down a bit if you want to fit them to the top of your bars and towards the hoods but once you put the bar tape on there are no bumps etc. Would be perfect for the drops. 29 June 2010

A little more comfort If you're changing your bar tape, consider putting some of these on. They certainly give you a little more comfort on a long ride. 28 June 2010

Amazing! These make my bike so so smooth on the drops and at £5 they are a real bargain if you're going to change your bar tape anyway! They are also not too bad to get bar tape over as long as you're firm but gentle and patient. I would recommend these to anyone if they are planning a long day in the saddle! 05 March 2010

A little extra comfort... Ok, so it's hard to get excited about something that's so small, not shiny, and concealed under your 'bar tape, but I think it's hard to go wrong with these. I've used Fizik's excellent gel pads for a while on my road bike, but I didn't fancy shelling out the sort of money that would buy a decent new tyre when trying to improve my comfort on the 'cross bike. Especially as a decent tyre would arguably make more difference, and also given the likelihood of damage caused by my propensity for falling off in 'cross races. These Cinelli pads proved to be ideal. They're inexpensive, soft enough to take the worst sting out of the bumps, and still firm enough to retain a direct, controlled feel through the bars. I bought two sets, and found that the pads are easily flexible enough to do the tops as well as the drops, for all round comfort. They add next to no weight, and are easy to install. Get some, you really won't regret it! 11 September 2009

How many gel pads are in a set?

If using these pads under tape,do you then need to use 2 rolls of tape because of the extra thickness?

Answers

Answer:

I found that you pack them tightly anyway, so you may get away with only one roll if you use them just on the drops. I put a pair on top on the flat part of the bar as well so used two rolls of tape (although there was some left over) so try it.

Answer:

There are 2 in a set. I now have a spare set as I ordered what I thought was 2 pads and ended up with 4. They are very good pad so will be handy for someone At the price no harm done.

Answer:

No. I used 2 sets of gel pads and a standard roll of bar tape was enough to wrap them and the bars..

It is pretty thick with the pads on, I certainly wouldn't use 2 layers of tape as well as these.

Answer:

2 gel pads in a pack, and no need for extra rolls of bar tape in my experience - still had a good 30 cm left that I had to cut off.

Answer:

No, it doesn't add that much to the girth of the bar so no need for extra bar tape. The pads are quite subtle but you do feel the extra padding.

Answer:

2 in a pack. Thickness is minimal so normal tape is sufficient

Answer:

No these must go UNDER the bar tape. They have adhesive to hold them in place before you re-apply the tape.

Answer:

The pads are self advehsive, but you do need to stick them directly to the bars, then tape on top.

Answer:

1) No. I wouldn't recommend that.
2) Yes, they are self adhesive, but I think you'd need the bar tape over the top of them to hold them in place properly.

Answer:

The underside does have adhesive tape on them and when I first applied them I had to remove them and refit in a different position, so it is sticky but not stuck to the extent of never coming off in one piece.

When you say over the bar tape - I would not recommend that as they would come off.

I bought two packs and fitted one to the drops and the other on the top of my bars but under the tape. Job done.

Answer:

I did, you need to bend them a bit to get them to follow the curve of the top of the bars. Once the bar taps is on they feel pretty good.

Answer:

Yup, I used mine on the top of the bars, and they have a self-adhesitve bottom so they do stick on.

Answer:

I wouldn't say that these are suitable for using on top of the bar tape, they are easy enough to fit beneath the tape. I did both in 5 minutes.

Can you cut the gel pad or does it leak gel?

Its that on the tops they seem too long if you dont plan to put them right to the stem or can they go round the curve at the drops if you know what I mean.

Answer:

Don't cut them the gel will come out.

You can squidge them round the curve on the tops no problem, feels fine under good bar tape.

Answer:

No, from memory they are a single gel unit & I wouldn't advise cutting them. However they are not that big & I found using them on the tops I was able to curve them to the bottom of the hoods.

Answer:

They contain gel so it would appear that they WOULD leak. Why would you want to cut them anyway?

1 year, 7 months ago

ZoofMan

Answer:

I would route them round the curves, rather than cutting them; if you angle them slightlly towards you where you're likely to be resting your weight, then they will naturally go round the edges on the outside of the first bend.
