How to Install Handlebar Tape

Flip the hood of the brake lever upwards.

Peel off the adhesive covering from the back of the bar tape.

Place one end of the bar tape around the handlebar, making sure to leave a half inch extended past the end of the handlebar.

Begin tightly wrapping the bar tape clockwise around the handlebar so that the bar tape overlaps itself slightly.

After a few wraps, tuck the extra bar tape into the end of the handlebar and firmly push in the bar end plug.

Continue to tightly wrap the bar tape around the bar as evenly as possible.

Take the extra piece of bar tape provided and cut it to fit the back of the brake lever.

Continue wrapping over lever.

Flip the break lever hood back down and continue.

Stop wrapping about 2 inches from stem.

Cut the bar tape diagonally at an approximately 60 degree angle.

Finish the wrap.

Use the electrical tape provided to tightly secure the end of the wrap.

Press down on electrical tape to secure it.

Repeat steps 1-12 on the other side, now wrapping counterclockwise.
