This bar tape name...

...says it all.
Permanent creases where it was rolled up tight, and so weak that it ripped with only light stretching.
Lucky it was given to me, I'd be more upset if I paid for it!

Looks like a something suited for product placement in the movie "Idiocracy".

These "edgy" product names, IMHO, are stoopid, no matter how accurate they might ultimately be!

I bought some FUBAR tape several years years ago and really liked it. It had a slick shiny printed finish over foam. I was looking for some more a few years later but it appeared they'd cratered since all I could find was a few NOS offerings on Ebay.

It looks very disco-era to me.

I have purchased this tape in red, silver, and yellow/gold and it looks and works well. It is soft and textured, so only slightly shiny. The only issue is the rolls are kinda short so one has to be careful when wrapping to get complete coverage.

I love a product with such a clear and concise name: "Bicycle Road Bike Handlebar Tape Anti-slip Wrap Cork Guidoline Fixing Straps"
