If you're not too good for it, the $2 eBay tape has no adhesives, and comes in many colors including white. Weight is 20g-40g per pair plus 7g for plugs if I remember correctly. If you want light ones you should buy some from several different vendors, as weight seems to vary from batch to bath or supplier to supplier.

I hate cleaning the sticky stuff left behind by old bar tapes, so I apply electric tape over the adhesive of whatever bar tapes I use. As Iong as I wrap the bar tapes tightly, they don't need the sticky back to stay in place and can be re-used.
Why would you clean the bars unless you want to run them without tape?
However, I agree that the sticky backing is mostly here to make it harder to re-use the tape so you have to buy a new roll

I have also found that Zevlin bar tape, which does have adhesive, doesn't leave it on the bar when you unwrap it. I have managed to re-wrap one handlebar with the same tape a few times, and it never leaves any residue behind when I take it off.

IIRC, Lizard Skin does not have adhesive. I do not know whether it is lightweight, but it is quite comfortable.
Ive always just taken the adhesive tape off. Never had a problem with it.

Thanks everyone, some good options to go with here.
That's a good point above though. I have some spare adhesive bar tape back at my office & i'll see if it's possible to remove the strip. Sounds obvious but I never thought of that. Anyone tried it with the fizik stuff before?

it has worked for me on Fizik, deda, and all other tape I have used in the last 20 years. I do recall an occasional piece of bartape sticking to the tape but it wasnt a big deal.
