I've been playing with the idea to replace my BJ Long rubber bits with something else. I've been using them for years. But they don't fit properly on wide stems or narrow ones. And they are a pain to remove as well. So I figured I would try isolation tape instead. Three layers should be enough not to leave toothmarks on my stems.
The result is most satisfactory. It looks and feels better than the bulkier BJ Long bits. I've been thinkering with two variants: regular black isolation tape and 'Power Perfect' tape (it has some sort of mesh-layer). I will try both, but I am leaning towards the thinner isolation tape for now.

Keep you guys posted on the durability.
