Rockbros

Which Rockbros bar tape should I choose?

Bar tape is a big part of the Rockbros range, and the choice should start with what you want to change about your cockpit rather than simply spending more. Options include non-slip, shock-absorbing, EVA, PU and silicone-based constructions. A basic tape makes sense when you mainly need to replace worn tape, while thicker or more premium constructions are worth considering when cushioning, surface feel or durability matters more to you.

Bar tape, MTB grips or a bottle cage?

Road bikes with drop handlebars generally use bar tape, while flat-bar mountain and hybrid bikes use grips, and lock-on grips are the more secure choice because they will not twist on the bar. Bottle cages are inexpensive functional upgrades, so choose them on bottle grip, weight and fit with your frame rather than on price alone.

Will the Rockbros accessory fit my bike?

Compatibility depends on the product. Bar tape is intended for wrapping drop handlebars, grips need to match your handlebar diameter, and bottle cages require compatible frame mounting points. Minitools are different because they are carried for adjustments rather than fitted to the bicycle, so check that the bit sizes match the bolts on your bike. Check the dimensions and mounting requirements on the individual product page before ordering.
