  • we mean for the end of the tape near the stem dummy.

    dummy is being kind, slightly misunderstood that!

    Yes, I use electrical tape for the end of the tape too.

    (Quickly find way to delete my previous posts)

  • Would Irish tape do?
    You guys ride so fast (apparently) that no-one would spot the difference between red and orange...

  • Failing that create your own with leccy tape!

    From the Park Tool site[INDENT] Add some thin tape for color contrast. Make "pin striping" by cutting a roll of tape with a sharp knife or razor blade.
    Lay the roll of tape on a flat surface. Firmly press the blade into the roll, and rotate the roll. Use care whenever using a sharp edge.
    Peel the tape up and apply to the finish tape.[/INDENT]

  • !Scouser alert!

    far from it.....

    I remember seeing that. Proper attention to detail there. Great site.

    But aren't the gloves taking it a bit far. Only messing around with some electrical tape ffs!

  • I think the gloves are just to present the idea that they are super-efficient, clean and meticulous. I only wear latex gloves when I'm doing the really messy jobs, and even then they disintegrate instantly because they came in a box of 100 from a pound shop in Hackney.

  • ^ I will definately be doing that on one of my current projects! Looks amazing!
