lechatnoir Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 I tried that, and the top layer was a tad too short - the extra thickness to wrap meant i had to skimp on the overlap wrapping on the top layer. So what I did is just wrap the tops with two layers and the drops with one. So from the levers towards the stem... that has a double wrap. It means I have enough to double wrap as the drops are only single. I'm OK with that. I used some old silicon wrap i had taken off as my bottom wrap and it works just fine

Veebee Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 i've done it before, no issues. Cheaper cork tape on the bottom and a good tape on top.
Zorro5614 Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Can one put some of the gel pads under the hoods? Particularly for a gravel bike, gloves alone don't work for me
Long Wheel Base Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 This sounds like it adds extra weight to the bike. Would rather just HTFU/#5.Pass!
JacBrand Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 Been thinking of double wrapping my bar tape; and tought that perhaps instead of using two layers of bar tape, why not cut up an old innertube for the base layer? What do you guys think?Could work, but bar tape has a bit of adhesive. The tube may slip
bikebloke Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 you could get these and pad your bras ....sorry your bars properly
Kalahari Vegmot Posted May 30, 2017 Author Posted May 30, 2017 Okay, so what about 25c tyres then??? They add weight, rotational mass, and make the bike more comfortable! Oh wait, Rule#5, can't!!!
