We will show you how you can wrap our tape from the tops to the drops without using any additional adhesive tape.
On top of that, we also show you how to wrap it without the need of cutting the tape in order to use it for wider bars later if you want.

My Cannondale had its bar wrapped like this from the factory. Came here to see how it’s done. Will try to do that with my fresh tape now

The best way to wrap bars I have seen! Beautiful Bicycle too!

the best way to install bar tapes if you want to get rid of those sticky electrical tape ..

You are absolutely right. Thanks for the comment ✌️

I think this is the so called italian style wrapping! Wilier bikes comes from the factory like this!

Yeah this is the way to go...much cleaner than using electrical tape.

Thanks. It's a custom neo-classic build. Took some time to find all parts on the second hand market. ✌️

I have come from @ThePathLessPedaled link. Hate the electrical tape the local bike shop stuck on touring bike I got from them. I made it more complicated to wrap bars though becaue I added secondary brakes up top and I have bar end shifters. No examples on you tube of these extra "humps." Realize I add extra cabling. Got silicone pads for next attempt. Would your tape work? Definitely glad you supply length! Reminds me of Ace first aid tape for sprains.

Our tape works with a extra silicone pad underneath. We also have a video for that. Check it out and let us know if it helped to explain the matter probably.

Love the Cinelli bike...the reverse handlebar taping is great too.

Thanks! The top to drops makes such a clean look and at the same time has really no drawback on the grip of the tape.

Love the tape. Just a heads up to anyone with a madone slr gen 6 but the expansion plugs have 0 chance of working with the bars. Just use the regular plastic plugs with the fins.

@greppcyclingstuff5870 8 ай бұрын

That's a great heads up. It's really tricky to cover all handlebars as the inner diameter is something which is not following a standard and manufacturers can play around with the inner diameter.

NICE tape ! But I recommend that your viewers have a look at your ORIGINAL tape video because you correctly begin at the END of the drops and tape UPWARD toward the centre of the bars . . . this ensures that your hands don't start making unsightly unraveling of the edges of the tape due to the downward pressure of your hands on the tape on the drops . . . nice bike too :-) Cheers from Canada!

Why dont the pros wrap it like that?

@greppcyclingstuff5870 Жыл бұрын

That's a very good question! Maybe it's a "I always did it that way and therefore I'm going to do it again the same way"

@DominiqueB Жыл бұрын

I'm most definitely _not_ a pro ;-), but in my (and many others') experience, the edge of the tape can end up "rolling up" where you often add pressure against it with your hands, which can't happen when wrapped the other way, as you're pushing down & away on the edge. Might be a matter of using low quality tape or not applying enough tension, so maybe a moot point for some, but AFAIK, that's the main argument against applying it in this direction.

@greppcyclingstuff5870 Жыл бұрын

@@DominiqueB that might be the case for tapes where you have the adhesive only in the middle. Since the rubber threads are all the way to the edge if the tape and the tension is much higher in the tape there is very little play to roll up. We have not seen this even in fixed gears/track bikes were there is not even hoods to reduce some if the forward movement.

@davidscott6164 Жыл бұрын

Because it doesn't actually good up as well when you are riding hard and "torquing" the handlebar, the tape had a tendency for the edges to roll when done this direction.

@greppcyclingstuff5870 Жыл бұрын

@@davidscott6164 that is true. I hope you all are "toquing" our tape to make it roll. I haven't managed it so far when riding in the velodrom

how to wrap a bar and proceed to skip showing how to do it on the shifter part.. nice....

@RangerLaila 10 ай бұрын

Why didn't you show how you wrapped around the brake lever? None of your other videos shows how you are able to get the 'correct' orientation of the tape on all parts of the handlebar. You clearly achieved it in this video, but for some mysterious reason you didn't think it was useful to show?

@greppcyclingstuff5870 10 ай бұрын

You are right, I didn't feel it was relevant. I suppose this section deserves a dedicated video. We'll get to it. Thanks for pointing it out.

@@greppcyclingstuff5870I find it actually find it a bit more difficult because the tape doesn't stretch like most other synthetic bar tapes. It was the one thing really wanted to see! Managed to figure it out after watching the GC performance video on how to reverse wrap. Still a bit of funny business because of no stretch but it gets you close enough to figure out the rest.

@@SGTTEMPEST we got the how to done and it will come soon so you can see how the section around the levers is done by us. Stay tuned.
