When you wrap bartape do you do the right side clockwise and the left side counterclockwise? A couple of videos in youtube confused me even more..

Right side counterclockwise I think, always wrap in towards the bike.

Now I'm confused, I hope that's right? Anyway, it should be wrapped so that it is self tightening as your hands rotate on the bars.

I would have said that you always wrap "away" from the bike because that's the direction your hands would usually twist on the bars. So, eh, clockwise on the right, counter on the left.

But then I'm really bad at wrapping bar tape. Like, atrocious. Can't get the ends clean at all. So what would I know?

AstraMonti

Thanks for confusing me more

That's the "correct" way, isn't it? (It's totally coincidental that a cute girl is wrapping the tape :rolleyes: )

Heard a commotion outside the front of the house. Went to see what was going on and saw Eamonn Fennell and MD McAuley outside with Sam Maguire

I usually wrap tape from the stem out to the ends. That way I don't have to mess around with a finishing strip. I wrap forwards on the tops and then reverse direction after the brake levers (IIRC) to wrap outwards on the drops.

I just found 50 eurons while tidying the bedroom, at first I was happy but then I remembered a time when I found £1,000 in my sock drawer that I had forgotten about and now I'm some what sad, I wish I was still well paid:(

You forgot about 1000punt? You sir were too well paid, when your happy about finding anything along the lines of 2euro and upwards, then you will be paid the right amount (based on what my boss says about me been paid fairly ).
