Hi

I've just purchased a set of drop wing top bars, but not sure best way to tape them.

Should i tape only just past the hoods or all the way over the flat bar to the top?

Any Answers :?

  • I tape my flat carbon bars up to where the bulge for the flat bit starts,, so there is enough tape around my hand near the hoods, works well for me. All personal choice I guess, I find the naked bar can be slippy in the rain though, but it looks ace!

    I go to the top of the hoods - only just :!: But then I'm willing to sacrifice any possible comfort issues if it means I get to see more carbon on show :lol: (Cinelli Ram - original ones 8) )
