    @Notsoblue: Cheapskate, but you pay for someone to wrap your bars? :?: It's easy, you can even 'practise' with the backing tape stil on there. Do remember that Fizik includes a piece to cover the STI bracket thingy so you don't have to cut a piece from the roll. It's inside the roll of tape. Forget this and you come up short :oops:

    You're right...I need to man up and wrap my own bars. To hell with it, I'm buying a roll tomorrow and will make it work. Will post the results here when I'm done, and let you know how much Pearson charged to make right. ;)

    I did wonder about this myself. There are some useful videos on YouTube, these are quite informative:

      Unbranded black cork-gell wrapped middle-to-end on my Viking Windsor has done nearly 3 years of daily use in all weathers, is still tight and is only showing signs of wear where I've bashed it into the road over the last couple of winters.
