Hi guys I’ve come across this really cool brand for bar tapes (BTP).
They make really colorful and interesting designs for handlebars and a cool way to customize your bike.
I was wondering if anyone of you have tried woven bartapes.
How practical and durable are they for long term touring etc

Most woven tapes aren’t very cushy or comfortable. If I want to run woven tape for style, I double wrap my bars with cork tape underneath.
i wrap first in old inner tube, and have had good luck with textured pick-nick table fabric from fabric store. so much cheaper, stronger, and more material. rode across usa with that setup and it never ripped, and was able to wash it easily.
