[SoCCeRBaLL1996]

He sure knows how to wrap a mean handlebar.

[orenezzre1990]

Thanks man, this help me a lot..

[johsy]

NICELY DONE.

[ricosity]

And thats how you wrap a handle bar.

@thecastman97 haha

[thecastman97]

@arbanaskocudo lmao what do you want to use? duct tape? lol. the bar tape did work on the bar, electrical tape is like the cherry on top (not really) but still, its worked for 50+ years

[arbanaskocudo]

does electrical tape holds enough good ? i doubt it

[AFullSodaCan]

Not bad, but I like starting at the top of the handlebars, by wrapping the bar tape over itself once, and then finishing at the plug end so you don't have to use finicky electrical tape to hold it in place.

I have that same bike! Alpha 1.2. Great bike but crap components

[TENCUHTLI]

thank you

[polyrider81]

Very cool, thank you!! quick question. I'm going to change my tape, but my handle bar hurts my hands inside. may I tape new one over existing one ? This way I think holding the bar may be a bit smoother )

[DutchLandKing]

he wrapped it so fast... he must do 30 a day

[elveezultra]

@MaikUniversum

idiot !

[MaikUniversum]

this video is fake. There is no bike.

[BearverPoison]

How do you remove the brakes from the bars. Im not sure how to get the clamp off.

[dnny64]

Jeff- You are the best on here. Could you do a vid on how to add in-line brake levers on a road or racing bike?

[Dylannnnnnnn91]

1:50 - 2:05 That's what she said.

138,712 vids from expert village OMG

[ether1988]

He does it right up until he hits the shifter. You should come up from inside the shiter, not the outside, so you wrap the other way along the top. This stops it from unravelling over time.

Holy shit...an Expert village video that is actually made by an EXPERT!!!!!!! Dude that was excellent and if I were you I'd re-brand away from expert village as I almost didn't watch this video because they are usually utter dog shit!!!!!!!!! Thanks

[ogdog123]

I've watched them all and this is the best method. Did my first bar following this method and looks great. Thanks.

[fsquared64]

Hint: ignore every comment about how this method is wrong. This guy is a master doing the cleanest job in the shortest time I've ever seen. Perfect!

[saucony323]

well done....

[1rocknroy]

I have only 1 question: why?
