It’s been 4-5 month since I started using the Grepp bar tapes. The tapes were looking kinda dirty after multiple trail rides and riding in the rain. They’re all faded and starting to develop a weird smell.<\/p>\n

For typical bar tapes, I would need to wrap new tapes, but it seems like the Grepp bar tapes can be washed so I decided to give it a shot.<\/p>\n

Let’s start from where I unwrapped the tapes.<\/p>\n

The Grepp tapes to not have adhesive tape so it was very easy to take them off.<\/p>\n

Then, I super glued the edges of the tape, so they don’t get raveled when washing.<\/p>\n

After that, I threw it in the washing machine\/drier. Everything was intact and smelled fresh!<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/p>\n

The bar tape didn’t shrink in the wash so it was easy to re-wrap.<\/p>\n

If you wrap them with the faded surface is facing down, you got yourself a new bar tape.<\/p>\n

If you guys have the Grepp Handlebar Tapes<\/a>, you should definitely give it a try!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":132849,"template":"","better_featured_image":{"id":132849,"alt_text":"","caption":"","description":"","media_type":"image","media_details":{"width":1280,"height":960,"file":"2022\/04\/IMG_5275.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"IMG_5275-640x480.jpg","width":640,"height":480,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":61022,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_5275-640x480.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"IMG_5275-900x675.jpg","width":900,"height":675,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":104628,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_5275-900x675.jpg"},"large":{"file":"IMG_5275-1048x786.jpg","width":1048,"height":786,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":132758,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_5275-1048x786.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"IMG_5275-800x600.jpg","width":800,"height":600,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":85779,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_5275-800x600.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"filesize":381536},"post":132839,"source_url":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/IMG_5275.jpg"},"acf":{"not_to_displayed_on_top":null,"ctm-post-priority":null},"post-meta-fields":{"_edit_lock":["1651722483:48"],"_edit_last":["48"],"_my_meta_value_key":["[{\"pid\":35642,\"name\":\"*GREPP* gripper handlebar tape (gray)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/grepp-gripper-handlebar-tape-gray.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/g\/r\/grepp02140_draft_d584f4ff-cafb-4fad-bded-35a37e729f59_1680x.jpg\"},{\"pid\":35641,\"name\":\"*GREPP* gripper handlebar tape (olive)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/grepp-gripper-handlebar-tape-olive.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/1\/1\/11grepp02138_draft_1680x.jpg\"},{\"pid\":35640,\"name\":\"*GREPP* gripper handlebar tape (charcoal)\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/grepp-gripper-handlebar-tape-charcoal.html\",\"src\":\"https:\/\/global.bluelug.com\/media\/catalog\/product\/cache\/58380b5adbf00c5b2741afb4fc1b2f76\/g\/r\/grepp02148_draft_1680x.jpg\"}]"],"_thumbnail_id":["132849"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review-global\/132992"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review-global"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review-global"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/51"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluelug.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
