I need to clean the bar tape on my CX bike (yes I knbow white isn't perhaps the best colour for a CX bike).
The tape is the synthetic stuff (can't remember the type) so what's the best way to clean it back to white.
Cheers

remove tape and fit black.
no klunky that's just not happening 🙄
I've got white tape on one of my road bikes and when it gets a bit grubby I clean it by...
...removing it and fitting new tape.
There really is no other way.
Wire brush and dettol !
Or toothbrush and IPA ?
Hang on.....toothbrush and toothpaste....that could work.
jif/cif?
I spray a small amount of degreaser on a rag .. rubs the cack off - comes up lovely and white
jif works well.... as does clit bang.. sorry cilit bang

gt85. Spray liberally then wipe off in straight lines with a clean rag/centrefeed.
Or WD40. I find Fizik the easiest to clean followed by Deda. Best tip though that everyone forgets.... Wash your gloves!!! It realy is that easy to keep white bar tape white
detergent, hot water and a brush works for me.
