How to Put on Handlebar Tape | Bike Sports TV Garage

[@richbowie76]

Old school way was to wrap the top toward the rider.... I prefer the new school way such as you did ! 👍

Most importantly, I learned to use the pedal as a bottle opener!

Ciao ! 🙂Why you don't wrap tape in other directions ? When I have my hands on the top of the handlebars, the movement of the hand is, if I look at the top of the handlebars, from the front to the back. Wrapped with your method, do you not force the tape, trying to unwind it? Have a nice day, and, congratulations on the method on how to open bottles! :-)

Nice video, thanks for sharing. I think the tape is wrapped the wrong direction on the top of the handlebar.

[@bikesportsco]

It’s not. The tape should be tightening as you have your hands on the bars.

You may want to watch the Park Tool video by Calvin Jones on how to wrap handlebar tape. I've seen them wrapped both ways on the tops, but wrapping towards the back on the tops makes more sense to me as your hands are pulling towards the back and if you wrap towards the front, you will loosen the tape. Not being critical...just presenting another way of doing it. Great video. Everyone has their own preference, and I suppose it can depend on how often you change your tape and where your hands are the majority of the time. If you are always in the drops it wouldn't matter which direction the tops are wrapped and vice versa. I'm sure the quality of the tape also has a lot to do with longevity, too.

@@bikesportsconot being critical either, but if your intention is for the tape to tighten as you ride than it's definitely wrapped the other way. Think of the accelerator of a motorcycle: when you accelerate your hands tend to have the same motion on the tops of the handle bar...

@@garyfleischman7555I first learnt how to wrap bar tape from that park tool video too!

Those Enve bars with the recesses on the tops are crying out for a reverse wrap. The rubber ends also make for a very neat finish going in that direction.

[@Bike4adventure]

great video!

Out of focus a few times so probably shot on an iPhone. Really for such expensive ENVE bikes and Whoop wearing presenters money is not a problem so a DSLR should be used to give better quality and focusing.

[@bikesportsco]

tell me more about myself 🤣

@anahiltMG This video was shot with a Sony A7 IV with a Tamron 17-24 f2.4 so……hopefully you got the gist of wrapping bar tape with that.

Prima di fare i video per insegnare, impara a fare il lavoro decentemente !
