How to affix the separate lever section of bar tape, including which length to cut, and different angle cuts depending on lever manufacturer, and vintage.<BR/>2. How much spacing of the offset overlap while wrapping.<BR/>3. How to do the figure 8 around levers without getting gaps and that horrible extra thickness that comes from an incorrectly wrapped lever.<BR/>4. Which angle and length for the final cut. (There's a single picture of scissors/tape before cutting, but no after picture).<BR/>5. How to actually wrap the final cut so you don't get that ugly bulge beneath the electric tape.<BR/><BR/>Please, just don that beautiful t-shirt again, and add few pictures/explanations to the guide, and you'll have a master piece worthy of an exhibition at The Louvre.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Anders MardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027575187143538569.post-81377375989799607732009-03-24T16:39:00.000-07:002009-03-24T16:39:00.000-07:00Deda tape is also very good and I find it has more...Deda tape is also very good and I find it has more padding than fizik...just my preference thoughc-robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235067735992022015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027575187143538569.post-23738024133439253992009-03-24T11:02:00.000-07:002009-03-24T11:02:00.000-07:00First, nice shirt.Second, you should do a how-to l...First, nice shirt.<BR/><BR/>Second, you should do a how-to lesson on cleaning a filthy bike. I put one together, after a few people asked me how I clean my bike, but when it came time to post, it felt too nerdy. So I bagged the draft, and leave it to you.Robbie Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00560121167293773811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027575187143538569.post-32658093579770765902009-03-24T05:21:00.000-07:002009-03-24T05:21:00.000-07:00That's really interesting I wish I was that good a...That's really interesting I wish I was that good at it.
