Bar wrap porn

Yes.
I know it's not porn, but our mechanic was rather pleased with it and this seems like the most relevant place to share it.
As you were.

Really? I don't any mechanic I know would be pleased with it, borderlining embarrassed actually.

Maybe the yellow bit is a braille routemap for the blind mechanic's commute?

Bar's at a wrong angle, brake levers a little too high, cable aren't adjusted accordingly (barrier adjuster is at max), rear brake housing doesn't look long enough.

This isn't anti?

brake levers a little too high

And the bolts are rusty!

Jeez!
I thought someone might like the colour coordination and the corks. It was an improvement on what was there before and it didn't cost anything. Sorry, I should have put it in rat.

Does anybody do this or is it just me?

Burns through electrical tape, but may help to give a solid platform for my hands to rest on once I've properly wrapped it. Compared to just using a couple of sections of leccy tape

Just you, that's way too much electric tape.

What you need is an outer cable guide;

^That is exactly what I need gad damnit

please elaborate

A Cable guide rather than using a ton of leccy tape?

The cable guide allow you to keep a smooth interference between the bar and the housing if your bar doesn't have groove for it.

are those dura ace shifters with the black detail 9, 10 or 11 speed?

Probably 10.

^That is exactly what I need gad damnit
Me too: the lack of a cable groove is the only thing that niggles me about my Noodles.

So cheap too; no idea such a thing existed.

They come with Shimano bar-end shifter as standard, it's hard to find it separately apart from SJS.

Well that wrap's done. Got some darker tape to match my saddles colour a bit better.

Not sure I'm the biggest fan of brooks bartape. They have tapered ends both sides when you only need it one side so I had to cut it down, and the ends aren't perforated so at the tops if you looks closely you can see it randomly transition to no perforations at the end just before the electrical tape, which looks shit to me.

Certainly happy with the result nonetheless

Jeez look at that spacer, don't you think you need a bigger size?

I fucking do! I don't like spacers :(

Scoble calling out spacers. What the very fuck?

Vesalius, have you considered a scobling?

I fucking do! I don't like spacers :(
