Bar wrap porn

repped for the size of your balls.

and I'd say yes.

ha, I'm just a bit of a knot nerd. I have been known to knit too. 4 rolls ordered, will post what happens....

It's wrapped from the top down.

Wrong.

I'm on about the caps. Instead of plugs you get those caps with Benotto tape, which I think should have the tape wrapped over their lips to prevent what you see in that picture - a cap added after the tape is wrapped, and which doesn't sit flush with the contour of the wrapped bar.

I did mine how I'm trying to describe, which makes the cap look like it's a regular plug, as it's contained within the wrapping. Looks much neater. Kris is right about heating it to create a bond, but I used concealed tape. Fiddly but well worth it. When I'm bored enough I'll take a photo, which will be tomorrow no doubt.

what plugs?

What tape? All Brooks tape I can find now is full of holes! Where can I get some plain, smooth non-perforated, please?

Just put on some new drop levers and cloth tape - photos is a bit after I've done some insulation tape finishing

Ok I'm going to go for it. Going to get some red white and blue tape and try a triple harlequin on drops plus hoods. Straight in at the deep end, no problems.

Does one roll of tape typically do one side of a pair of drops, so you typically need 2 rolls?

Definitely need 4 rolls....two for each side....i failed in my first attempt to do this a few months ago cuz I only bought two....was not happy :)

what plugs?

Hope 'Grip Doctors'. They're ace. I have three pairs in total. Actually one set is going spare if you're interested? In black though.

What tape? All Brooks tape I can find now is full of holes! Where can I get some plain, smooth non-perforated, please?

It's old-style Brooks tape. If you can find some, don't bother with it. It's shit. It lost all of its colour and then went green.

I might give harlequin a try next time, haven't seen purple tape tho to match my frame unfortunately...
