Do you manage to put some bar tape on the low part of your Vuka Aero so it doesn’t look like an horrible bandage ?
It is so small (one inch or so) that I don’t manage to install it properly.
Send some pics please !
Thanks.

I did and, as you said it looked weird and cam off. So, i went back to the Zipp tape (Which is MUCH better now) and it has worked well.

aside from the heinous cost, i love the zipp stuff.
why don’t you like that?
You talk about the bar tape sold with the Zipp Vuka ?
Not enough comfortable for my fragile hands ![]()
and for the full-of-holes roads I’m riding on !
yeah, the zipp stuff that is sort of like squishy sandpaper. i like it, great grip, more cushiony than nothing. curious to see how stickiness holds up in summer heat.
trust me i hear ya, chicago roads are crap too. thing is though, even if you do opt for a bit of normal bar tap, you are only going to get about a 4" stretch of tape on there right behind the brake lever before the base bar comes in, so it’s not going to give you any cushion, will just provide a tiny bit of grip.
I feel quite okay though with my normal bar tap, it’s just that it’s kind of horrible !
But I trust the guy happy after trying. I’ll do the same. Thanks !
