Troubleshooting
Tape feels slippery after getting wet
The 3D texture is designed for grip even when wet, but ensure it is thoroughly dried after washing or heavy rain. If issues persist, check for contamination from lubricants or dirt and clean again.
Difficulty getting a tight wrap
Ensure you are maintaining consistent tension while wrapping. If the tape is not adhering well, the handlebar surface may need to be cleaned again. Use the finishing tape securely.
Vibrations are still noticeable
While the tape offers significant vibration absorption, extremely harsh impacts may still be felt. Ensure tire pressure is also set appropriately for the terrain, as this plays a major role in overall comfort.
