Nearly every way has been tried to make handlebar tape stay looking good from season to season. There is nothing like having freshly wrapped bars, especially as the summer cycling season hits.

One of the first things I look at when I am looking over someone’s bicycle is the handlebar tape. Does it need cleaning? Should it be replaced? Is it ripped? I know others look at these things also. One thing that is almost universally overlooked is how the tape is finished off near the middle of the bars. Just how much vinyl electrical tape can you put on the bars.
