Delta

Vibe Wrap System

I bought the Vibe Wrap from Tree Fort a while back now. It was a creative process to cut and shave off a few pieces of the padding to fit my drop bars just right, but once it was set up it was golden. When I say this tape is durable, I mean it! This bike has since been ridden for a few years for at least 6,000 miles through all conditions. I'm a year round commuter in the north (think snow), as well as doing full day rides in various terrain (think dirt), and abusive riding (bike polo). The tape is finally starting to show signs of wear, so I'm buying a new one. I've never seen any other tape last years before, so I'll keep coming back for this one, especially at this price again!

This makes road bars very comfortable. If you are the type of rider that likes to sit more upright, rides a lot in the tops and the corners, and encounters hand numbness, Vibe wrap will be perfect. This is kind of a neusance to apply, but is very comfortable once it is installed. I wrapped mine with Cinelli Cork Tape on top of the Delta Vibe Wrap. The Delta wrap really helps to create a surface that forms to the hand and is more comfortable on the wrists for longer rides. It makes the wrap look thicker, which takes some getting use to if you had a firm wrap before. But it is so comfortable that I will be using the Delta Vibe wrap from now on.

Provides a softer grip but not really ergonomically shaped like a nice aero carbon bar, more round when used on standard tube handlebars. Works better with thin cycling gloves, too thick when combined with padded gloves. I like the finger-indentations the grip provides, has a nice feel.
