Making sure that your bike is comfortable is important, and new bar tape can really help to improve the comfort on your hands, be it simply a single layer or even going for a double layer or gel pads Roubaix style! Not only can you improve the comfort, you can also make your bike look a lot sharper too!
Changing bar tape for comofort or style is though something that most cyclists will have to do at some point in their cycling careers, and it has a reputation as one of the trickiest and most awkward tasks going. Here we look at how to do it like the pros do with GCN’s own Daniel Lloyd.

thank u
I’m using a Aerofly s works handle bar and it’s different from that . Very hard for me to do
Thanks GCN !
Had worked perfectly! Shine new bar tape is awesome.
Quick and concise video!
Seems hilarious to use good ol' electrical tape at the end. I'm suprised there's isn't a more bike specific product.
heat shrinking the ends? does that exist yet?
The translation of this title to Spanish says "How to get your handlebar pregnant"
Very NEAT good job done you made it look easy. Thank you
Gonna try this in a minute with some cheap Chinese bar tape 😂🤪
Thank you very much for this and also. Subscribed
Brak informacji o długości produktu. Osobiście zawijam od strony mostka i uważam to za istotną wzmiankę.
P-m Endriu.
Thanks GCN, just tried this and now my bike is on fire.
that looks like shit! sweet bike though
I’m going to make a video called “How to wrap bar tape like a dumb asshole”. I’ll never learn!
Does the tape need to have an adhesive backing?
Can I use this as MTB chain guard?
Not good technique
my tape is not sticky at all
Just a note to add, before you insert the end plugs it's worth warming the tape up with a hairdryer – this makes it softer and more flexible and allows you to get a tighter wrap around the bar edge.
Thanks you guys, you save our lives…

I did it the easy way. Brought a brand new bike with new bar tape.
I like the GCN videos but this one is not detailed enough to be of value to serious road cyclists. It completely ignores the importance of wrap direction or of switching direction at the brake/shift levers to accomodate for the different pressure riders place on the bars. Check out the Park Tools video for more information- https://youtu.be/5MzIiv7pewE
Thank you Very much your video was very helpful for the
first time trying it.
The top of the tape must be wraped in the other direction, since the way the video showed it must go loose cause it is not against the force you must apply when you using it.
Thanks, usefuL!
Just done mine for the first time, this video has helped a lot. Will soon find out if I done a good enough job once I got out on a ride 😂👊
Yeah fuck this im going to the shop
share mo lang?
done! thanks
