Both! I wrap from the end to the brake lever and from the stem to the brake lever. No twine or tucking necessary. Works especially well if doing a weave. Ted Durant Milwaukee WI USA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To

[RBW] Bar wrap direction

Back in the nearly forgotten days of my youth I recall wrapping bar tape from the stem to towards the end, tucking a bit in the end and finishing with a bar plug. But for years now (since I started using cork) I've been wrapping the other direction and finishing with tape or twine. I figure the
