Get a Grepp
Following the recommendation of fellow Fediversers I got myself some plastic free bar tape produced by the swedish company Grepp. It is made from plant based fibers which are woven into a strong fabric. It can be cleaned by hand washing and then reused. Instead of an adhesive strip on the underside the Grepp tape is rubberised, so it doesn't slip on the handlebars. And since it is made from sturdy Tencel fiber you can really tighten it down without breaking it. The tape comes in 15 different colours and patterns. If you're looking for a cheaper option, they also offer some B-ware tape with slight imperfections.

If you're interested, check out https://www.grepp.cc/ for more information.

My old racing bike is back in action, with "new" bright yellow bar tape.

The "new" bar tape is actually nearly as antique as the bike: It's Ambrosio "professional" Bike Ribbon from the 1980s/90s which has been hanging around since I bought it from someone at the Mildenhall bike rally 20 odd years ago, until I fitted it in a slightly less than professional manner today.

My old racing bike next to a cyclepath with newly yellow handlebars due to the new tape.

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

2. My boss said I did a really good job on the bar tape yesterday! I studied from my homie #CalvinJones (did I tell you I've spoken to him? In person? I have, you know.).

I had my notes and screenshots all in my book this time (that Calvin signed).

So my studying paid off!

3. I got a £20 tip from a customer for PDI'ing their bikes.

The bottom bracket shell (?) of a carbon bike saying C Bear. I think it means ceramic bearings?

Gibt's hier Leute mit praktischer Erfahrung mit wiederverwendbarem Bartape von Grepp?
Das ist ja relativ neu, und ich überlege mir das mal auszuprobieren. Wie gut klappt das mit dem Waschen?

unravelled well used pink Fizik bar tape on a bicycle handlebar in a spiral pattern, to be replaced.

"before & after" blingin' flip bar tape is always an improvement! #cycling #handlebar #bartape

Back in black after my short lived yellow bar tape. Looks like I over corrected the left levers. Oh well, correct it next time. #cycling #maintenance #lizardskins #bartape
