4.4 Handlebar Tape Installation (RYET Bar Tape Manual)
This section details the process for wrapping handlebar tape, ensuring a secure and comfortable grip.
- **Preparation & Tools:** You will need bar tape, two finishing tapes (included), two end plugs (included), scissors, and electrical tape (optional for a cleaner finish).
- **Wrapping Instructions (Right Side):**
- **Start:** Unwrap the tape backing about 15cm. Begin wrapping at the bottom of the drop (end of the handlebar), leaving the first 2-3 cm of tape overhanging the bar end.
- **Direction:** Wrap outward to inward (counter-clockwise on the right side). Pull the tape taut at a consistent, moderate tension as you wrap.
- **Overlap:** Overlap each preceding wrap by about one-third to one-half of the tape's width.
- **Around the Brake Lever:** When you reach the brake lever clamp, wrap behind the lever, then in front, to create a secure, neat hood.
- **Finish:** Continue wrapping until you reach the top of the handlebar near the stem. Cut the tape at a slight angle.
- **Wrapping Instructions (Left Side):**
- Repeat Step 2, but wrap inward to outward (clockwise on the left side) for symmetry.
- Ensure both sides end at the same position near the stem.
- **Finishing:**
- Use the supplied finishing tape to secure the end neatly. Wrap it tightly 2-3 times.
- Push the end plugs firmly into the bar ends, trapping the overhanging tape inside.
- For extra security, you may wrap a final layer of electrical tape over the finishing tape.
