Installation Tip

Due to the 3.4mm thickness, we recommend a slightly tighter wrap tension than standard 2mm tapes. This ensures a secure fit and prevents the tape from shifting during aggressive off-road maneuvers. The extra length provided is sufficient even for modern, flared gravel handlebars.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this tape too thick for small hands?

  While it increases the diameter of the bar slightly, the added comfort usually outweighs the size difference. If you prefer a very "direct" feel of the bar, you might prefer a 2mm tape, but for gravel, 3.4mm is the industry favorite.

• Does it get slippery when wet?

  No. The Earth tape is designed with a tacky surface finish that maintains high friction even in muddy or wet conditions.

• Can I re-wrap it if I make a mistake?

  Yes, the high-quality adhesive backing allows for minor adjustments during the initial installation process.
