I want to replace my bar tape. Looking for some recommendations, specific to what wiggle has on offer.

Good and bad. Thanks

    the Easton cork stuff is pretty good - fitted some to the Dolan last year, it was white, so pretty much needed cleaning every other ride, but stood up to 6 months of pretty solid riding before looking a bit second hand. Replaced it with some Fizik microtex stuff which is lovely, and (bike tart mode) matches the FIzik Arione's upper cover nicely.

    I recently tried Zipp Service Course CX and love it. I didn't see it on Wiggle so my next choice would be for Fizik. Anything more on the tacky side than the cork side works for me.

    Lizard Skin fan here, too. Very good grippiness, resists fading, decent thickness/padding, just gotta be careful to avoid scuffing it up. Since bar tape is cheap, and you're gonna be stuck with for a while, I wouldn't limit myself to the selection at one site (albeit I do love Wiggle!)

    My latest favorite is Prologo onetouch, the texture feels pretty good.

    Awesome decision Lizard skins is the only bar tape I will ride these days. super comfortable and lasts way longer that most others.
