Brooks leather handlebar tape review.
Is the handlebra tape worth the extra money.
Their expensive classy and shiny finish definitely adds a lot of swag to the bike.
I have a chance to make my christmas wish list.
They also serve as great protection for the handlebars as well and thanks to their long term durability they are changed out less.
The cheap nashbar tape gets good reviews.
Unfortunately the joins can sometimes show.
Nashbar has black for only 35 brooks tape is around 57 velo orange tape is around 82 and handlebra is the most expensive.
Leather has to be one of the most attractive types of handlebar tape materials found in the market.
Brooks leather bar tape has appeal beyond retro builds and classic bikes thanks to its longevity and good looks but it s not the comfiest bar tape around or the cheapest.
