With practice (or with great care) it becomes unnecessary. This helps to cover up any gaps when wrapping this more complicated area.

Tape comes supplied with an extra strip to wrap around the clamp at the base of the hoods.

When wrapping, overlap the tape by approximately a third of its width.

Some brands: Cinelli, 3T, fi'zi:k, Bike Ribbon, Velox, LizardSkins Sounds a bit shallow, but isn't road riding all about the look? Every time I retape I also change the color scheme.

It then becomes a matter of "peeling" it off in sections. When bar tape gets old it may become more brittle and sometimes tends to bind to the handlebars. Loose bar tape seriously compromises your ability to ride purposefully and safely.Ģ. At this stage you may simply be able to rewrap the bar.

So how do you know it's time to rewrap the bars?ġ.
