Taping the Diamonds

How-To on Taping Bars

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!
