At 2.5mm thick and 40mm wide, it is half as thick and just as wide as our Supple Bar Tape. This makes for a slimmer option that has a distinctly different feel.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e40mm wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e152cm long per roll (two rolls per package)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEVA \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efoam\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e compound absorbs vibrations and conforms to your hands for greater comfort. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSoft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, tacky\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e texture keeps your hands from slipping in all weather conditions with or without gloves.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEasy to install. 3M adhesive backing \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ekeeps \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etape securely in place.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThickness can be adjusted from 2.5mm to 5mm based on the amount of overlap.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eIncludes: b\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ear plugs, p\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eolyurethane finishing tape, and b\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003erake clamp cover tape.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Overstretching the tape may cause it to tear. To get a feel for optimal tension, find a ruler and stretch 10 inches of tape to 11.5 inches. This is about as far as you want to stretch the bar tape when wrapping your bars; the max stretch on Supple Lite Bar Tape is 12 inches. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFits all road bike drop bars. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the smoothest feel, aim for a 25mm stagger.
