  • Are these available yet? Or can we get/buy the 3d printer files?

  • Hi, yes you can order them if you want. Just no website yet

  • Do you have a video guide on how to wrap these? Looks like a small challenge in itself.

  • It will be up on website

  • I finally got mine installed and wrapped. The taping was definitely tricky but once I worked out a system the second side was much easier. Gave them a go on the rollers and they feel really good, stops my hands from bending down the fronts of the drops when riding in the hoods position.

  • Cool stem and bars. Did you do it yourself?

  • Thanks, yeah but I didn't prepare the surface well enough so it chips off really easily.

  • I really like it. I saw someone selling stem caps with a similar look on ebay. If I find it I'll send you the link.

  • They are up for grabs. DM me if you want some.

  • Got mine installed, and went on a 104km cruise to test them out.
    I would have to caution ppl not to attach them too tight. I cracked the plastic a tiny bit, but was able to glue and support within the wrap. Feels super safe and comfy.

    Also, I have carbon bars, so to protect against having a pressure point of the screw digging into the carbon, I cut out a square pieces of leather from an old belt i had, and placed the squared between the screw and the bar (you'll see a square gap).

    The only bad part about these are the comments on reddit, and FB fixed gear groups by roadies that pretend to understand what riding a track bike is like.

    Shit fixie skidders say >>>>>>>

  • Any idea when the website will be up, and when can we order them?

  • Got mine yesterday, look great but I must say taping up is a bit of a nightmare. 2 rolls of bar tape in the bin and still no nearer to sorting out a neat solution. Very stretchy tape may be the solution.

  • Im very sorry for the tapping struggles. I can assure you that it is very easy to tape if done acordingly. Ill try my best to show atleast a simple video

  • Fabric brand tape is very stretchy and works alright. I spent about 45 minutes trying to work out how to wrap one side then did the other in 2. I ended up doing a kind of double figure of 8.

  • I think i have it figured out. I was trying to replicate the 8bar crit bike, which has a super neat tape wrap. Whatever, it's a great product.

  • Given up, can't get a neat wrap. Back to normal bars.

  • This still makes me smile

  • Hi there,

    Just got my hoods today, and tried wrapping them.

    Tapes I am using are "Deda Elementi MISTRAL TAPE". The wrap itself has a little amount of foam inside so it looks kinda funny when trying to wrap around.

    I just wanted to ask, what tapes did other people use to get a successful clean wrap?

    Regards

  • Hi,

    Your tape is fine actually. I used simillar in photos. Try to wrap in figure 8. Ill do a video in mid july ;)

  • Hi there,

    Thank your reply. I've ended up doing a messy job of it (with a lot of tape), and will get new wraps after your vid.

    Regards

  • Youll be surprised how easy it actually is 😅

  • Hi there really interested in ordering a set of these but don't know how to move around this website, I'll try to get it so I can get a set!
