Why not both?
This is 100% personal preference, but if you seriously only plan to use the drops then yeah I’d say partially tape or use grips. But if you’re gonna spend time on the tops and only have grip on the drops, it seems a bit poser-ish to me.
Personally, I’d say tape all the way up just so you have the option of comfortably holding the tops.
Grips on drops is like ketchup on steak.
Tape unless you’re talking those long NJS grips.
Raw dog it and dont you dare to even put plugs in
I can’t be reposting every shitpost here to r/BicyclingCirclejerk pls behave
Soyo white grips 😏
Strong g grips for sure
Wrap entirely if you use tape.
Grip modern frame – vintage frame tape
Tape unless you only ride drops
Go with the ones I did so you can comfortably ride the tops. Extra long track grips:
