This is a short how-to video on doing a Harlequin (diamond pattern) bar wrap with cloth tape on drop bars. I am definitely not a video professional, so this may not be helpful, but I’ve done over 10 bar wraps using this method, and it works. As I can’t find a good video tutorial on how to do this, I figured I would contribute what I could to the cause. I hope you enjoy it. This pattern is unique and really classes up a bike. I originally learned this via Jim Varnum’s excellent photo tutorial linked here: http://www.wastedlife.org/bike/harlequin/index.html

Progress!
