How do you mount the bar tape when you have a "wing shaped" road bar?
Last weekend I saw someone with no sellotape at the end... :?
If I look at casrans bike he has? :?

does someone have foto's of wing bars?

don't people normally do it just until after the hoods and then tape it off there so the tops are untaped?

usually you wouldnt tape over the top, like the colnago. i have ridden the FSA carbon one for a few months without tape on the top and it is more comfortable than the round bars with tape on. I dont use it now because they are quite heavy.
