How To Wrap Your Bar Tape - Continued

Start wrapping from the bottom of the bar. Overlap by about 1/4 the width of the tape.

Keep the tape taut to prevent unraveling or bunching on the outside of the curve.

Place a small section of tape around the brake hood clamp and wrap around as shown.

Hold any cables in place with electrical tape as you continue up the bar. Consistency is key.

Trim the leading edge of the tape with a long enough taper for one wrap around the bar.

Done correctly, the tape should yield a clean square edge, with no tape sticking up.

One or two wraps of electrical tape should finish it off.
