  • Song name??

  • Interesting to see you start your wraps inward. I was taught to wrap outward by an old British cyclist. Any benefit to wrap inward? Why cut the cotton tape when you reach the levers? One last one-what's the strongest twine you've come across? Thanks- P.G. from Canada

  • @2WheelEscapeArtist Hi P.G. We've been wrapping inward for such a long time that I forget why we started that direction in the first place. Cutting the cotton tape at the levers is just so it won't look wrinkled, cork tape we don't cut. The twine we sell has been the best, it's been strong enough for us to hold the tape in place.

  • a.) You've got talent.

    b.) You've got great musical taste.

    c.) I love both!

    Great video, as always. Looking forward to more. Thank you for sharing!!

  • That's a nice wrap. I usually go centre-outwards and push the end of the tape into the bar, held in with the plug, but then I don't use bar-end shifters.

    Looks so much nicer than electrical tape, which oozes glue everywhere...

  • That's a lot of film edits. Hats off to the editor.

  • I was recently told that there's new invention: electrical tape.

  • @2WheelEscapeArtist: Wrapping inward means you tighten the tape every time you pull back on the bars.

  • No playback on iPad? Really?

  • hehe a wingspan of twine, made me smile.

  • Nice job, but I learned to wrap outward, for the very good reason that you can then stick the end of the bar tape inside the bar end and then hold it in their with the plugs (for most of us) or shifters. Eliminates the need for twine or sticky-tape to finish. Works great with any thin tape.
