Suggestions for finishing bar tape ?
Moderator: robbosmans
Wraping bars from the top to the bottom does not look right IMHO.

color matching heat shrink tubing seems like it would be a good solution.

makes a big difference. the common ones found in hardware stores are junk and use terrible adhesives.

Definitely decent tape - the cheap stuff doesn't stick. And 2 wraps max - it's just to stop the end unrolling so you don't need to use the whole roll of tape.
It just goes on the tape - not stuck to the bars as well.

I'm left handed, if that matters.

Wrap and cut the bar tape to suit, unwrap a turn or 2, start the electrical tape on the bar and wrap the bar tape over the elec tape and then 2-3 wraps to finish. Clean edge and solid anchor for the tape. Dab of super glue on the end of the tape stops fidgeting fingers lifting the finished edge.
