Great help! I couldn’t figure out why my LS bar tape would unravel, and they are very clear to say “do not stretch”, I guess I was too polite in its installation. BTW: the tape piece at the end (for the gap) is actually finishing tape for the top of the bar. The pieces you’re talking about are in the box with the spool, but wedged at the top and bottom. Thanks!!

Thank you for the feedback. Glad you found it helpful! I definitely understand the no stretch problem and had a lesson learned myself. Funny you mention the top bar tape, I’ve always used electrical tape and never needed the filler, but that makes complete sense, didn’t think a covered tape needed a logo haha.

Thanks Ryan great video. Getting the figure 8 can be a pain for me as I know the tape needs to be in the direction forward so when you are riding you are tightening it. As for cutting at an angle your video will help me because even Park Tools video is not as clear as yours. You guessed it yes I have cut it the wrong angle 😂. Stay safe.

Cheers Ted, Glad you found it helpful, I have also made the angle cut wrong haha.

You must be Canadian. Firstly because of the Norco but when you said “hockey stick” it solidified my assumption lol.

[@RyandeMilliano]

Haha, yeah, born and raised. Cheers!

Nice - Love the indexing you provided and the 2 different camera angles, although the front-on view could have been closer. Also - I assume you have a bike stand; wouldn't clamping in your bar on the opposite side from where you are working have made it a bit easier?

[@RyandeMilliano]

Thanks for the constructive comment! I agree it could have been a little better setup, this one was a last minute filming decision so I only had one shot to get it on a busy day. The stand would have made it more stable, I’ll have to keep that in mind next time.

Hi there, it looks like right side of the handlebars was wrapped in different direction or maybe it's just me?

[@RyandeMilliano]

Keen eye, that is intentional since each hand grips/twists in a different direction.

Way to tight
