    Morning Folks,

    Looking for a bit of advice in regards to replacing the tape on my handlebars.

    Is this a job I could take on myself without making a balls of it or should i get my Local Bike Shop to do it for me.

    Definitely something you can handle yourself. There are plenty of youtube videos showing you how. If you're not 100% happy with your initial effort, most tape is forgiving enough that you can unwrap it and try again.

    When you unwrap the old tape, practice using it putting it back on again. If you buy tape that has some sort of logo or pattern on it, it makes it easier to wrap the tape evenly as you have a guide (in the pattern/design)

    If your looking for recommendations on a nice comfortable grippy tape, I highly recommend Zipp CX tape.
