Don't pay attention to those jerks talking BS about your video! You did a great job! Thank you!

14:45 'And that's a wrap for today'. I see what you did there! Thanks for the video!

Question...you wrap the top of the bar in what I would say is the opposite of the traditional way, "tradional" being based on other videos I've seen. The message is that wrapping the other way tightens the tape, while your way would technically loosen it because when on the top, your hands would apply force towards you. That said, I've seen pro mechanics wrap like you did. This makes me wonder if pros don't experience the unwrapping because their tape gets changed so often? I change mine once oh, every two years, so I wonder if my tape would loosen over time. Also...the end cap...while it eliminates a huge hassle for me (cramming the tape into the tube) I can't help but think that it would unravel pretty easily. Thank you for the video! Gives me a new perspective on this.

Wrong tape direction on top of the handlebar

[@thatbikeguy8509]

Sorry but in real world road racing, this method has been tried and true for me and dozens other bikes for the last 30+ years. You may have another method that work for you, and it’s fine , but I believe that my way is not « wrong »…

[@MrMarcipans]

@@thatbikeguy8509 sure 🙂

[@chrisyoung8062]

when showing the "reverse" method, you were wrapping in the wrong direction. that's why your hand friction unraveled the tape.

Côté transmission, le ruban de cintre n est pas enroulé dans le bon sens. On enroulé toujours un ruban de cintre de l extérieur vers l intérieur ( côté coureur ) Sportivement

Great. Liked and subbed nice channel

In my opinion there are no "right" or "wrong" ways to wrap bartape, it's all about preference

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

It's shown at 5:50 that there is a wrong way. You want your bar tape flat and smooth, not warped and wrinkled.

[@thatbikeguy8509]

Based on all those years of experience, trial and error…it my right way and I ‘m just sharing…

[@gibfear]

'Like a pro' what? 'Cos it's not like a pro bike mechanic would!!! 😂🤣

[@AN-rw3ue]

Upper bar wrapping direction is wrong

[@JeffC-fq1be]

i hate how they always only show the right side.

[@paullaranjo9778]

You’re doing it wrong when you get the top. You are going on reverse!!

[@Biggreydog]

Go to park tool and learn how to do it correctly.
