I had white grips on my dh bike and had no problem keeping them clean with a pressure washer and some lemon CIF stuff

Ah sure, I could just paint them gloss white every few weeks.

I take it that that's Fizik MicroTex then?
Just read a few reviews on Woggle. Seems good alright.

That's it.

Believe it or not, but pledge furniture polish works great on white bar tape, great for giving your bike a buff after cleaning too.;)

Defo the fizik.

Fizik all the way !

Have some Fizik white microtex on order from last week from wiggle, it was slightly cheaper than CRC. The reviews are great but only downside is that it seems a little on the thin side so since I sometimes get a bit of pins and needles in the hands on long spins I got the Fizik gel also to go underneath. This seems to get good reviews also so hopefully it all works out.

I 've tried the white Fizik but although it's comfortable it didn't look that good on my Px. I have now BBB which is fine, maybe a bit too thick for someone's taste. It can be cleaned easily with Jif.

Deda, clean up well.


Lizard Skins, really comfy but impossible to clean & expensive but really really really comfy.....

The Fizik tape is very good..15 euro in CSS on Sat. I have also used the Pinarello tape which is very comfy too (and the strips seem very generous in length too)

To keep it clean and sparkling, BABY WIPES are your only man!! (God knows what they put in them) but it is a very good idea to keep a few in the saddle bag/rear pocket to keep fingers and hands clean after any "on road" maintenance (Mr Schleck ruined his lovely bar tape after that Di2 mishap last week!!)

+ whatever number on the fizik, great stuff.

Might be worth getting the gel inserts, I have them on one bike and not on the other and the fizik tape is VERY thin, so if you like your padding you may need them.

can you pick this stuff up in Dublin CC (Cyclelogical or / Cycleways) ?
