  • Agreed. Sorry 'bout that. We'll get it right next time. --DM

  • Poor vid. Can't see what he's doing initially.

  • @jack123ie Also agreed. This was really just a last-second thing, so next time I'll try to do it proper. Cheers for the comment, though.

  • @cubitsuper Exactly. At my first job a cycling shop that's the way I was trained to apply handlebar wrap. I've never in my life used the little strips of tape that come with a new box of handlebar wrap. Same goes with the two short strips of wrap that come with a new box. I just throw them away over my shoulder. If a person knows how to properly wrap bars they're useless.

  • @ReneeNme Starting at the stem has a weight advantage without the necessity of electrical tape.

  • annoyingly crooked as f*ck.

  • Holy Cow! It's "Triple Malt Andy" from Shroudsburg, PA. Nice! I like to use some of the old tape. I wrap from the stem to the bottom of the gear changer with good piece from the old tape, then wrap with the new color. Extra comfy! Then I proceed to call Andy and go to his place and sample the worlds best and rarest scotch(s). Great video, thanks much TRIPLE MALT ANDY lookalike!Xoxoxoxoxoxo

  • thanks, now my wrap looks like the bike shop did it!

  • I wish that bike shops around here had their own house Jazz band.

    That would be epic, and would result in me spending a lot more time there!

  • Why has this man got a ragtime jazz band hidden away in his workshop ? Doesn't he know ? Is he deaf ?.......Nice job though.

  • Is that finishing tape white electrical tape?

  • Try being real and start next to the stem next time.

  • Did Michael J. Fox record this?
