[RBW] Bar wrap direction

I’d follow their directions and see how it goes. I wrap end-to-stem, inward toward the bike (I think - I did it today, but I always have to look at the bike to make sure). For a while I did the trick where you wrap ends-to-levers, and stem-to-levers, but the only advantage was no “finish” tape

[RBW] WTT-Mark's rack for Nitto 34F or 35F

I'm currently using a Mark's front rack on my Rosco Bubbe mixte but would like something with a larger load rating. If you've got a big Nitto front rack and want a small one, instead, let's talk trading. Of course, I would expect to pitch in some boot. Steve Butcher Stockton, Missouri --

[RBW] Silver Shifter question

I’m using them on an 3x8-speed Hillborne with Albatross bars and they’re working out great on the outside of the bars. I did try them on the inside of the grips and didn’t like the way the cable ran under front curve of the bars since I like that as a second grip area. They are very long

Re: [RBW] Bar wrap direction

What Olaf said. Wrapping stem-to-ends can help if your hands tend to slip forward on the bars—your hands catch on the edges of the tape, which unfortunately get worn and frayed more quickly. All of my bikes are wrapped end-to-stem. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com @CampyOnlyguy

Hey Guys: Many thanks for your observations. I've been using a Shimano for a thumb shifter on my Atlantis but would like to move that to a Roadeo (with bar ends) I'm building. Currently using Silvers as bar ends and down tubers but no experience as a thumbie. Thank you and best wishes for a

RE: [RBW] Bar wrap direction

The good thing with wrapping from the end to the stem is that the tape – regardless of material – is wrapped rooftile-wise so that your hands don´t roll up the edges outward-downward. If that isn´t a problem for you and your intended tape, do it either way. And a pleasant New Year! Olof

I use that combination and love how they work. That said, I have only used them for old-school 8-speed configs and don't have a ton of miles on any particular set. That said, set up as bar top shifters they are the most accessible, intuitive and best tactile feel shifters I have ever used. I

[RBW] Bar wrap direction

Back in the nearly forgotten days of my youth I recall wrapping bar tape from the stem to towards the end, tucking a bit in the end and finishing with a bar plug. But for years now (since I started using cork) I've been wrapping the other direction and finishing with tape or twine. I figure the

I've had an LHT which i upgraded with a Hunqapillar frame. There is quite a difference in handling. I always felt I was"turning" the LHT rather than leaning through the turns on the Hunq. The Hunq handles more like a mountain bike. I've since bought a Hillborne since I wanted a

Re: [RBW] Re: Bike Trainer Thoughts

A couple of additional thoughts: Yes, trainers are boring. Music or Netflix works for me. Interval training can make for a short & productive workout. Trainer specific tires make a difference-- besides saving wear on your road tires, they are quieter and slip less. Eric On Monday, January
