Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I spent last night doing my first brake/bar tape install and I have to say it was one of the most annoying and frustrating experiences I've had in a while! Trying to get the tape to hold the first few turns while you push the TT levers in the end of your bars and then trying to get the outer cable to meet flush with the levers.....arrrrgh....and then trying to feed through the inner cable and have it snag and start to unravel.....arrrgh.....one of my levers had a crash course in flying across my living room at one stage! :-)
But in the end I came out on top and I now have a fully functioning pair of brakes and a nice yellow taped Profile Airwing to keep my hands busy while riding. Excellent. Thanks for the help.
