Not sure if this is a workshop issue! Just wondered how hard this was to do yourself and if there were any hints/tips or video links anyone could offer?

Cheers!
Current bike: 2014 Kinesis Racelight T2 - built by my good self!

    I've fitted it on the Kaffenback and other than adding the gel pads before you wrap the bars I found it no different to other tape I've wrapped on my bars. IIRC the gels pads are tacky where they meet the bars so no need to worry about them falling off during wrapping.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Plenty of YouTube clips on wrapping bar tape. Hold the cables and pads in place with electrical tape first before finishing off with the bar wrap - the bar tape don't stick as fiercely so you can unwrap it easily to make sure you get it right.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Its easy just take your time and as others said you can unwrap and re-do several times - first time I did it I watched a few Utube vids and then made a better job of it than the guy on the vid (took me ages but who cares its my bike and I love to spend time with it!!)
