I used to double wrap tape to boost the simension but, last time I was at Riv,
they had some that looked even thicker. They were wrap Newbaum's over either
industrial felt of foam tape. I tried it and I like it. Can't bring myself to
wrap Newbaum's over dutch grips like Grant was doing
My recommendation is do not tuck. If you are afraid it's going to unravel,
and want to avoid that, then have somebody who has done it many times wrap
your bars for you. The more times you do it the better you will get at it.

Hi Bill,
What you last mentioned I did not think of until I finally finish putting
everything together. I was rebuilding this bicycle and put all the parts
together and said, well, now it is time to wrap the bars and realize that
all the video's are wrapped with handlebars without bar end
I use cloth tape exclusively now, but I wrapped many hundreds or thousands
of bars with chubby tape (cork and fake-cork variants) in my past life
working at bike shops. With chubby tape, I recommend you still start at
the bottom and that you still do not tuck any in the end. It's natural to
I have seen that one, Bob and Wally, but I wanted to know if people did
that using cork wrap tape. That is thicker than the canvas cloth used in
the video.

And start at the bottom at an angle with "overlap" and when you're done
cut it with a razor blade, gives you a tapered start and avoids a
bunched up thick end at the shifter, which is not only unsightly but
makes a lump you will feel because you will have your hand on it often.

I have always seen it wrapped from the bottom up with it wrapping going
outward from the top. Just wanted to see everyone opinion on whether it
should be tucked. I have not done it yet but it seems that it will be too
tight to have that cork edge wedge using the bar end shifters. It may not

Yes, in case I wasn't clear, my above suggestion works with wrapping from
the bottom up.
I dislike wrapping from the top down because the overlap is the wrong way
on the bar tops. The edges of the tape get curled up pretty quickly.

I always wrap from bottom upwards. This has the advantage that the spirals
overlap on the downward side, so that hand pressure doesn't separate them.
Tape at the end point near the stem clamp.

I start the wrap at the bar end and wrap up to the center. Doing it that way I
never tuck and have never felt the need too.

Hello all,
I am wrapping my handlebars on a bicycle that I rebuilt but I wanted to ask
a question about the ends. This bicycle has Riv bar ends and typically
youtube videos show that the wrap without these bar ends but tucked into
the ends with plugs. My question is, how is it typically done
