I get the impression he’s done this a few times before. Takes me 3-5 tries to get around the hoods right. He does it in one go and doesn’t even look back.
It takes me about an hour and a half to tape my bars and it still looks rubbish. That Tinkoff guy couldn't just drop in to my garage for five minutes, could he?
I swear that is the same thing I was thinking I thought the video was in a faster rate here at the bar is faster than I was able to unpack the bar tape from its package
I think second guy's girlfriend was send a screenshot with heart notification on top and he ask to his friend what that notification is. Few months ago ı was entered same situation and ask in reddit. İt was scary. By the way after scary three day ı was learn what that is; it was just relationship meter app.
According to Calvin Jones at Park Tools, the wrap on the RH side should be wrapped in a clockwise direction from riders point of view, and counter clockwise on LH side. The Park tools video gives step by step instruction.
I don't think Calvin Jones wraps 10 bikes a day. This is how a PRO mechanic wraps the bar tape for a PRO rider, just stick to the proper tried and true method.
@@poxcr I’ve wrapped mine in both directions and they both work, and look great. The figure of eight isn’t necessary when wrapping like the pros, so probably the preferred method for getting the wrap done quickly.
Yeah on the drops it should be wound the other way as tendency is to pull-down and outside on the drops, which will gradually loosen the wraps 😳, but then if he’s changing the tape on a regular basis it prob doesn’t matter that much.
Really doesn't matter if you wrap inside out or vice-versa: It's a pro bike. With that base wrap, the top layer is going nowhere anytime soon, and it will probably be re-wrapped before the next race.
PROcrastiDRIVE SV fizik tape is garbage, It wraps like shit. Bar tape is one time use, who gives a shit if it rips when you take off. SUPACAZ makes good tape. Not the best but better than fizik. Good cushion, decent stretch and doesn't stay wet like fizik.
lol, I have had literally none of the issues you are talking about with Fizik bar tape. Which specific type are you using? I'm talking about "Fizik superlight classic" bar tape. Also, there are plenty of times where reusing bartape is acceptable. Like when you're just swapping bars or correcting a mistake when you initially wrap the stuff. It helps when it just peels off rather than tear off in chunks :) Never heard of SUPACAZ before... where do you buy it online?
+PROcrastiDRIVE SV Peter Sagan uses supacaz. For the record the wrap issues I mentioned were my own fault lol. I had 3 sets of this tape and ran it for a while. It's more of a smooth sticky feel. I personally prefer textured wraps. I'm running cadence right now. It's Simliar to most fizik wrap I see. They're all good wraps. Just personal preference.
Except he didn't. I mean there's different philosophies, and ultimately its up to the rider, but generally when you come out of the figure 8, the tape is suppose to be wrapping in the direction of the front wheel not back to the saddle. But there's two things to consider....rider preference, and the fact that this tape doesn't even get close to being worn out or stretched before it's replaced.
The guy at park tool said to wrap the drops in the direction of the force that the wrists tend to rotate, right side clock wise left side counter clock wise when facing in the direction of the front wheel. does Peter Sagan tend to rotate his wrist inwards on the drops?
That's expertly done - chapeau! Although I always thought you should wrap from the inside outwards? In other words the opposite way to the way he's just done it?
Andrew Pike Indeed, so that holding the handlebars would actually tend to tighten the tape. Maybe this tape is so good that you don't even need to pay attention to that detail.
wiwh I doubt it's the tape. They probably just wrap it so often with fresh tape that there is no need to worry about the long term wear and tear of it.
It's a Supacaz bar tape. I have one (teal) wrapped on My Salsa WarBird handlebar. It's quite attractive (if a bit overpriced), but not as much as some (I prefer Fabric and Lizard Skin). Also, it's extremely fragile: My sticky (a result of washing) gloves peeled of the surface layer in absolutely no time. I do, however, like the look of the metallic purple Supacaz headset cap I have on two of My bikes.
A regular mortal will start twisting his hands to the outside when riding on the drops, whereas a pro really twists inside in those hard push moments. Thinking you are a mortal, clockwise on the right side is perfect for you. And for me. :)
Bicycle sunday I had them in 3,2mm and they couldn't be tightened via allen key (I also lost one end plug in like a week, very poor quality), plus they were NOT COMFORTABLE compared to the originals once I had on Specialized Tarmac Compact... they felt like plastic... rain weather also bad... too expensive... they are HYPED as hell, don't understand the positive reviews
another pro mechanic that wraps to the inside of the bars, ( several video's on here that do that ). Your hands twist to the outside when in the drops and to the front wheel when the hands are on top. To wrap any other way you are going against the grain so to speak, more of a chance of unraveling. With the modern quality sticky tapes if you do a good tight wrap you probably are not going to unravel no matter which way you go, but correct is correct.
The theory here, especially on a sprinter's bike, is that he's actually pulling on the bars when in the drops. I prefer to wrap this way and I never see my tape or any of my customers' tape come unraveled.
Cody: Yes you may be pulling on the bars when sprinting or out of the saddle but your fingers are still wrapped around the bars from the outside going around to the inside. When you pull or apply pressure your elbows are out and your fingers are tightening to the inside. At least mine seem to be doing this but i admit i'm no expert, as i said if you do a good tight wrap either way it probably will never come unwrapped.
Another reason I wrap this way is that I could never get it just right at the lever clamp when wrapping outside-->in. I'd end up with a lot of bulk at the clamp or have to resort to using the cheater strips. At the end of the day as long as it looks good and stays put, everyone's happy. Cheers.
That is a common misperception in the proper way to wrap bar tape, this video is done correctly. The issue is do you want the tape to tighten or loosen in high stress situations. If you are just riding casually on the drops or the tops of the bar then you are correct that you would be twisting the tape looser not tighter but you are not doing so with enough force to unwrap the tape. However when sprinting hard in the drops you are rocking and pulling the bike side to side and will actually be tightening the tape and same for hard climbing efforts most riders are not leaning on the tops but pulling on the tops again twisting the tape tighter.
Intrigued why he starts at the plug end and finishes on the top. The factory applied tape on my bars goes from the top, self-trapping itself (no electrical tape required) and runs to the bar end plugs where the plugs retain the end.
Because then the leading edge would be on the side closest to you, all the way down the bar. This means that your natural grip will cause the edges to curl up. Fine if you don't ride a lot or you replace it every few months.
i thought ppl usually wrap it the other direction on the drops because of the torque, also that figure 8 around the hoods is extra weight and alot of bulky excess
I am no pro rider nor a pro mechanic, and this is ultimately up to the rider, but when coming out of the figure 8 and wrapping the tops, you're suppose to wrap towards the front wheel (away from the rider). Now Sagen may prefer it backwards, or the reality being that the tape doesn't even come close to being stretched or worn out before it's replace, but I'm pretty sure he did the figure 8 wrong to come out backwards. The hole punch for the wireless was a nice touch though.
I get the impression he’s done this a few times before. Takes me 3-5 tries to get around the hoods right. He does it in one go and doesn’t even look back.
😂😂😂 probably 'cause he's got 10 more bikes to do before lunch!
@@joelyons886 The only downside is that it has been turned upside down.
His wrapping skill is faster than my unwrapping skill.
It takes me about an hour and a half to tape my bars and it still looks rubbish. That Tinkoff guy couldn't just drop in to my garage for five minutes, could he?
Well, I supposed it depends upon when you want him to be there and how much money you have!
😂😂😂

"it's not the engine, it's the driver".... "it's not the handlebar tape, it's the mechanic"
This is very satisfying to watch.
I have to say that, of all his different bikes over the year, this paint scheme was my favorite by far.
Poetry in motion. Top mechanic!
Well said👌🏿
1:20 "Dude I guarantee that's Tinder. Tinder for sure."
Matthew Avery he is talking about the bar tape wrap job it's so damn sexy it immediately got 10 matches
unless your an obsessive maniac like me.. then it takes forever while I second guess myself the whole way..
I think second guy's girlfriend was send a screenshot with heart notification on top and he ask to his friend what that notification is.

It's nice to watch someone experienced who can do this so fast. It takes me several times as long and I still don't get it as neat. Envy!

Love how he uses the hole puncher for the sprinter switches.
this means it will take me 30 mins each side to install my supacaz tonight lol
This mechanic knows what's up: Uses a leather punch for the remote shifter, not scissors.
thechosendude When i saw that, i felt a rush of pure excitement
i almost covfefe'd
LOL

Did you get a hard-on when he did it?????

Good skill. How often do you replace the tape for pro rides?
That is one beautiful bar tape.
nice to know that I wrap my bars like this guy.
Beautiful work !
That was amazing to watch. Very nice work.
I did this last night with the exact same tape and absolutely bollocksed it up.
Another reason to use Fizik bar tape. Absolutely no issues when reusing it... Doesn't tear, doesn't leave residue, awesome.

Hahaha I feel stupid because I just realised the weed theme for that supacaz bar tape. That probably explains why it's sticky
Great video! Thats our neon print Super Sticky Kush Tape
And you too can have it punters, just bend over!
just got your glow tape for my tcr
I just bought mine but im scared shitless to install it!
Do you have a video on bar roll for a gravel bike . I'm getting numb hands/fingers and I'm sure it due to bar roll
I wish that I had that skill of wrapping bar tape fast and correctly
perfect practice makes perfect - keep watching - keep trying
you just need practice. i have a bike shop and wrap too many everyday. it should not be perfect symetric, just warp it, it is fine.

Lord Sagan likes it in reverse, I like how he did the bar end start full wrap besides stuffing it in the bar end.
The guy at park tool said to wrap the drops in the direction of the force that the wrists tend to rotate, right side clock wise left side counter clock wise when facing in the direction of the front wheel. does Peter Sagan tend to rotate his wrist inwards on the drops?
This is awesome
Right side - start counterclockwise???
reversed
Why was this so satisfying to watch
YEP because the way you moved it around when he went around the brake handles is EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!!!! or no no that is NOT what I needed!!!
Perfection at its best
Where did the electrical tape comes from?
Bike mechanic with about a $6,000 Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph. Wow.
tag Heuger! the technical? wow...have you any vacant to work there?
the only reason for tinkoff uploading bartape vids repeatedly is bc of how satisfying it looks 😍😍😍
Right side of the handlebar - you (always) do it counterclockwise! (And on the left side - clockwise.)
That's expertly done - chapeau! Although I always thought you should wrap from the inside outwards? In other words the opposite way to the way he's just done it?
Andrew Pike Indeed, so that holding the handlebars would actually tend to tighten the tape. Maybe this tape is so good that you don't even need to pay attention to that detail.

It depends on the rider's preference, most people prefere it as you described. But some like it this way.
The technique he uses only works with symmetrical bar tape. Any asymmetric tape appears different on upper bar and drop when wrapped like this.
For those unaware, most bikers take up to an hour to do the same task. 🤯
So why did We started taping only half of our bars to reduce weight?
thank you sir
Pro at work.
Just like wrapping a tennis racquet handle.
I've been using same handle bar tap until it worn out didn't had enough money
So thx to utube videos
I used my old tire tube and it worked just fine
perfect job
Wow you've wrapped a few bars in your day. Very sure hands.
プロの仕事ですね
Omgosh, seems he's doin it first time! And no Beer before taping??!! It can only be wrong!

とても素早くて綺麗に仕上がってますね！流石です(๑•̀ㅁ•́ฅ✨
Is this a compact or ergonomic handlerbar?
None of them, is a traditional bend
appreciate that this mechanic had a hole puncher. annoys me when they just stab a hole or go around it
If only everyone did their jobs with such precision.
Is it so simple to Taping the handle bar? 😅
Valeu a dica muito boa
Ooops! I always thought the right side should be wound clockwise.
A regular mortal will start twisting his hands to the outside when riding on the drops, whereas a pro really twists inside in those hard push moments. Thinking you are a mortal, clockwise on the right side is perfect for you. And for me. :)
Supakaz...+1 in comfort
bar end plugs that can be tightened via an allen key? Oh yeah... that's wassup...
yep, I bought Lizard Skins and they don't have it... poor, will never buy again
Martin Zvarík But they have 3,2mm ☝🏻👍🏻

Too heavy, simple ultra light caps
where can you find the handlebar end caps?

Total wrong, start from the middle of the pipe, and end with that plug in the end .. Ha ha ha.

WHAT bar stem is that
shit took me 1 hour each side and this man finished under 5 minutes
2minit can finish？
He's put sticky face up electrical tape before the wrapping so it sticks good.
레버옆 버튼을 누르시면 페달이 자동으로 페달이 돌아갑니다 수동으로
I like to think that tape no longer squeaks and they make the noise themselves from now on.
skinny55772 correct that's why they never show the guys mouth. many pro mechanics do it, it's their efficient yet mysterious hive language
Good Job
Marvelous.
shouldn't he overlap clockwise ?
No Sagan is left handed!
hermoso trabajo
Why not wrap all the way?
Razer on roadbikes? Not a bad idea since they have boost mode.🤔

Absolutely not. You are supposed to wrap the tops counterclockwise, that is towards the rider
Huh. I always start at the top, so the end plug secures it, no adhesive tape needed at all. Never a problem in 10 years.
And then you flaps are wrong way :)
You wouldn't Roof a house starting at the top. Or maybe you would!!
