Thank you. This is the first video that has shown HOW to cut the tape at the angle when on the top of the bar. So many videos just say cut it at an angle. Thanks again.
The best video online for replacing bar tape, even I managed to do a half decent job after watching it. 😂
Jon, that trick with dots is genious!
Best video about replacing bar tape! Thanks!
BOTTOM UP NO NO NO
Why do we wrap from the bottom up and not the top down? Back in the early 80’s learned both methods were possible, and the guy that taught me liked to do the top down. I also learned to wrap in the right direction, top and bottom, did not matter. But I’m curious, I never have seen a video say why I want to start from the bottom.
I do not publish content online as far as videos are concerned as other cyclists close to me have had their great ideas "STOLEN" by third parties and advised me against the practise. I provide private tutorials only .
Best wrap tutorial ive seen 👍
Great video 🤓🖒. The tips on the wrapping direction will help me to not make the mistakes I have done on the past🤓🖒
beautiful bike
Beautifully explained in detail! Superb guide! Saved for reference! Thank you!
brilliant Jon
Great video!!
I always cut a wedge into the tape (like you do to finish it) to start it, but you got a great finish without that faff so I might try it. Thank you! The dot recommendation was golden too.
I know a bike mechanic that wraps from too to bottom and uses no tape on top. He swears it looks so much better than finishing tape.
I do the other way round starting not from the middle of bar, but from the end, this way I avoid ugly plastic electric tape, wchich looks cheap.
What is the tool you are using to steady the bars and where can you buy it from?
i literally do it much better than you do.
