[RBW] Re: Twine Wrapping

[Mike Godwin]

The tricks to keeping it from disaggregating is wrap firmly but not super 
tight, and the pull-through piece. You know the twine is wrapped tight 
enough when the pull-through is difficult to accomplish. Pull the loop at 
least half way under the wrapped section.  Make the pulling ends of the 
loop piece long enough so you have a good purchase on the string for 
pulling under the tightly wrapped 
twine. Lots of friction there.

Or, wrap the bars like Peter, center to ends and use the end plugs to hold 
the tape in place. No need for twine or tape at the stem area.

It has been my experience that the twine in the Riv wrap unravels fairly 
quickly if you don't cement it in place with shellac. I suppose you could 
also saturate it with wood glue or some similar absorbable adhesive. I am 
not normally a shellacker of bar tape; it's a messy job, and shellac dries 
out fast if you don't use it up. Furthermore, I think the normal run of 
plastic end tape options are uggo on oldie bikes. That's why I subscribe to 
the stem-to-end religion.

This handy document from Riv. 


If you look in the 20th catalog there's a primer in there as well.

And if you don't have that sleeve on the handlebar to work off an edge 
with, this tutorial works great too! This person does the process on the 
top of the bars which is easier to do but the end result looks 10% better 
if you start on the underside of the bars. Happy twining!
