Bar wrap porn

Ha ha, there are certain similarities!

just had a crack at the harlequin, I can't get my head round it! is this the best guide? I'm probably just being thick but I can't fathom it! I need to try again when I'm less tired out I think.

this thread is giving me wood

^^i intended to post a link but forgot.... Now i'm out on my phone. I was referring to the guide of the chap doing it with the blue and black tape.

I used the one from the bike collective and mainly focussed on the text

cheers, I'll try following that one when I've got some free time.

my fave.. nailed it (ish) 1st time, following that to the t

Yeah that's one I was following. I was pretty pooped last night when I tried it so was pretty brain dead. I had another punt earlier and got the hang of what I was meant to be doing, it ended up pretty messy so I still need to practice. Maybe an apollo-esque method of practicing with some paper and highlighters is the way forwards.

Thanks Mr Laser for the pics!

Has anyone attempted to use one of these grips on drops with hoods?
Thinking that is doable but not sure how much of a fuss it would be.....

I saw it somewhere, not sure where, some blog maybe, I think they just made the leather wider where it goes around the brake, it didn't look like to much extra hassle.

Anyone know where I can get a nice dark red/burgundy coloured cork tape?

darker than that red?

Yeah, more like this

Found some. Deda in Chianti Wine Red. Don't know why I didn't think to google that :)

Very nice wraps, like them all!

i like both your posts too.

Some gorgeous work in here. Keep it up!

Was going to say Deda. PBK tend to have most colours.

Too slow as usual.

That's cool. I got it from wiggle in the end. £7 and will arrive well before I get a chance to respray my bike a suitable colour.

Guys got an idea for a slightly different look...

Basically cinelli natural colour cork tape with cinelli jelly belly clear tape as second layer

madness or genius?

Only time will tell

Why won't lfgss let me post in full capital letters for dramatic effect?

YOU CAN ALWAYS DO THIS :p

Is there something that you could put beneath the cloth tape so it would feel more like a gel or corktape?

An old inner tube.
