FAQs
Is this tape suitable for gravel bikes?
Yes, the durability and vibration-damping gel make it an excellent choice for gravel and rough road conditions.
Can I reuse this tape if I need to adjust my shifters?
While the adhesive backing is strong, it is generally recommended to use new tape if you need to remove it significantly, as the adhesive may lose tackiness.
Does it come with bar end plugs?
Yes, every set includes high-quality Prologo branded bar end caps.
How do I keep the white tape looking clean?
Wipe the tape down with a damp cloth and mild dish soap after rides to prevent dirt from setting into the bristle texture.
Is the tape thick or thin?
The Plaintouch Plus is designed to be medium-thickness, balancing road feel with the cushioning provided by the gel inserts.
Troubleshooting
Tape is unraveling at the end caps
Ensure the bar end plug is fully pressed into the bar and that you have sufficient excess tape tucked inside the bar before inserting the plug.
Tape feels loose or shifts while riding
Re-wrap the tape with consistent tension, ensuring at least a 30% overlap on each rotation, and use the included professional finishing tape to secure the top edge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure your handlebars are clean and free of old adhesive residue before application. Start wrapping from the bar ends, overlapping by approximately one-third of the tape width for a balanced thickness. When reaching the hoods, perform a figure-eight wrap to ensure full coverage without bulk. To care for your tape, wipe it down after dusty or wet rides using a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical degreasers that may degrade the EVA material. Ensure bar end caps are fully seated to prevent the tape from unraveling over time.
