Handlebar tape serves as a critical contact point on the bike, and as such, deserves a little extra attention. The natural movement of your hands will slowly unwind tape if it not fitted properly leading to unruly cork and a messy looking bike.
Practise makes perfect and we'll provide each person with a handlebar and tape to practise on during the session.
- Wrapping tape with logos ensuring consistency
- Figure of eight around the levers
- Finishing tape ideas
