Giant Gecko Invades the Sports Arena Store...

...not really. But we did get a fresh shipment of Arundel's awesome Gecko bar tape.

The shop crew has been riding this tape for a while and we all love it. The density of the tape feels very similar to cork tape, but the Gecko tape adds a layer of textured polyurethane that gives the tape a great tactile feel and helps prevent your hands from slipping.

The feel of this tape makes this tape an excellent choice for riders who prefer to ride without gloves and, when we do get rained on, it'll feel much less slippery than Fizik microtex tape (which has been my go-to tape for years).

The only real downside to the Gecko tape is that the white tape does get dirty more quickly than other brands of white tape I've tried, but the feel of the tape more than outweighs this minor issue - which a soapy rag will solve anyway.

So, come on in and give the Gecko tape a feel and try a roll for yourself.

Thanks again for reading.

Ride Safe,
BL Bikes
