Need to replace the bar tape on my road bike. Hows it done?
One tape cut in half or one tape a side?
Do you start from the inside or out side?
Left hand twist or right?
Blind folded, a few beers on bored and let fate decide the outcome.
All tips welcome...
loads of useful explanations on youtube.
tape you buy usually comes as two length, one per side. You may also have a couple of short lengths these are for the shifters.
Start from the end and work to the centre, the end plugs then make a neat finish. The tape that they supply for finishing at the centre is crap. use insulation tape instead.
One other detail, to make life easier use a few lengths of insulation tape to hold the cables in place before wrapping with bar tape.
