One of my favorite online cycling retailers has quit carrying these, stating that they found that they slipped around too much under the bar tape, but I have not found that to be the case. The pads are big enough that you will likely need to trim a bit off to make them fit the areas of your handlebars where you want them; on the tops and the drops. The material is very grabby, so it's not going to slip, especially after you tightly wrap bar tape around them. The material is not so thick that your bars will feel squishy. I barely notice that it's even there, but I know that I'm getting just a little bit of extra padding. I only have used this on bikes with frames that are overly stiff and offer little compliance. On frames that provide a bit more compliant ride, I don't bother. This stuff will last for many years, perhaps forever, as the gel does not break down and compress.

Excelente para evitar ampollas en las manos debido a la vibración por mucho tiempo en terrenos de montaña.

No more heal palm soreness. Had my doubts on first ride but after the ride zero heal palm soreness!

I had the Planet Bike ones that were sold on here. Those were very gummy and smooshy like glue. They actually smashed under the bars over time. These by comparison are like a harder durometer silicone it holds it shape way better. They still dampen bumps rather well and improve comfort over the PB ones. I'd recommend a larger length bar tape it seems I had to wrap my bars quite tight to get the regular length tape to fit right. Due to the tape being wrapped so tight it kinda squeezed a bit of the cushy dampening out.

I used this gel tape with some thick Fizik wrap on my aluminum framed road bike. Aluminum bikes always seem like a rough ride to me, but this (and thick bar tape) damp out all the shock. I run small tires (23s) and they don't do a great job at absorbing shock, so padding is necessary. They install easily under the tape and are sticky enough to hold themselves in place during the install but won't leave goo behind if you need to remove them later (like for cable replacement).If you're on the fence, just get them. You're already looking at it and reading reviews, you're debating if it's worth it, so just do it, you won't regret it, especially on longer rides and over crappier pavement.

Installati con forse troppe aspettative sulla bici da corsa, manubrio in alluminio, ma al atto pratico non ne sento l'efficacia; non li riacquisterei ne li consiglio.

This gel doesn't need to stick very much and it doesn't . Like all stickers make sure not to touch the backing . Mock it up first the best you can and then cut it on a flat surface . Unevenness might show up thru you bar tape . Very comfortable under skinny bar tape . I wouldn't buy again .

Bought this for husband's bike, he has workman's hands over a lifetime rather tender. This gel makes for a much more comfortable, thus longer and more enjoyable, ride. Easy to install under the handlebar tape slightly sticky, does not slide around while wrapping the bar. Increases the diameter of the bar by a small amount and provides substantial vibration dampening. Could purchase a second set, install a second layer on the straight part of the bar to make it ovoid shape like some of the modern bars, with minimal expense. Definitely worth the money.

I rewrapped my handlebars using both the gel and microtex tape from Fizik. Overall, the installation went well. I did have to cut the gel to get it to fit (easy) and the gel wasn't as sticky as I was expecting it to be. Only one of the four sections adhered to the handlebar. I cleaned the gel and handlebars to try to get them all to stick, but no dice. So, for three out of four sections, it took a little work to keep the gel in the right place and get the tape wrapped correctly. But, that was a one-time deal that really just lent itself to a couple of beers.The gel itself has been tremendous. It doesn't add a lot of padding, but it does a great job dampening vibration. With my previous cushioned wrap, my hands would start to go numb about an hour and a half into a ride. Now, I'm going without gloves and having little to no numbness on 3+ hour rides. It's good stuff. I can't imagine not using it now that I've had it.

I ordered 3 sets of these to install on my 2 road bikes and my wife's road bike. The gel bars are thin, solid, sticky, and can be cut to fit your handle bar. You get 4 pieces per set and would install the straight pieces on the drop and the curved pieces near the hoods. You will have to unwrap your handle bar (if already wrapped), peel off sheets off of the gel bars, stick the gel bars to the handle bar, then wrap the bar with your favorite bar tape. The gel bars can be removed, washed, and reinstalled, so you will only ever need one set per bike count you own. With the gel bars, the handlebar is much more comfortable to hold and keeps you well insulated from the energy robbing vibration. I highly recommend this product.
