Wolf Tooth’s Supple Lite Bar Tape

Wolf Tooth’s component and accessory line has grown considerably over the years. Their latest product is this Supple Lite bar tape, which is designed to provide comfort and grip for long days in the saddle on rough terrain. It’s tacky in the rain, soft when it’s dry, and creates a uniform appearance on your bars when wrapped and finished correctly. At 2.5mm thick and 40mm wide, it is half as thick and just as wide as Wolf Tooth’s Supple Bar Tape.

Specs:
-2.5mm thick
-40mm wide
-EVA foam compound absorbs vibrations and conforms to your hands for greater comfort.
-Soft, tacky texture keeps your hands from slipping in all weather conditions with or without gloves.
-Easy to install. 3M adhesive backing keeps tape securely in place.
-Thickness can be adjusted from 2.5mm to 5mm based on the amount of overlap.
-Includes: bar plugs, polyurethane finishing tape, and brake clamp cover tape.

In stock now at Wolf Tooth.

Blue Lug Makes Da Brim Look Cool

Chances are, you’ve seen Da Brim before. I know you have. Usually, it’s the cyclo-tourists on the Adventure Cycling Bicycle Route 66, or the TransAmerica Trail that wear these kooky devices.

Let’s be real, skin cancer is a very real threat and keeping your nose, ears, and neck protected from the relentless sun is only going to get more important in the coming years.

Our friends at Blue Lug know how to take a product like Da Brim and make it look cool, meshing safety with fashion.

What do you think? Excessive sunblock? Or a kooky (in a good way) sum brim?

The 2021 ENVE Builder Round Up: Weiss, Breadwinner, Moots, Pine, Mosaic
