How often should you change bar tape?
Salty liquid is corrosive and it’s not uncommon for riders to come across holes in their bars, from a lack of tape maintenance. We at NALAC believe at a minimum, you should replace your tape every six months. Make today the day you get your bars freshly wrapped in new tape!
Is white bar tape a bad idea?
There is no white bar tape that is both easy to clean and is actually nice under hand when riding. White tape is much harder to maintain and needs to be replaced often if you want to maintain the unblemished white look. That’s why, traditionally, only team leaders were given white bar tape.
Can I wrap my own handlebars?
Wrapping drop handlebars is a skill that requires practice and patience. The finished job should look tidy and clean for the user. Wrapping also provides a good time to replace cables and housing. Additionally, with the bar tape off, it is an opportune time to move the levers up or down the bars as desired.
