Wrappin Bar Tape UCI Approved (Towards Rider & Figure 8)

#share #sharing UCI-style Wrapping Bar Tape
One of the materials studied at UCI is wrapping bar tape. There are lots of techniques and methods of wrapping bar tape out there, and this is one of the techniques that according to UCI is the safest, even on a pro tour like TDF using this direction, starting from the drop bar to the top, wrapping always faces the rider (towards riders). For the drop bar position, there are several pro mechanics whose wrapping is out of the direction of the rider depending on the riding style, but in the position of the handlebar (top) the wrapping direction is always facing the rider. Why so?? Because we have to adjust the tendency of the rider's hand movement when on the handlebar and the wrapping must be in the direction of the rider's hand movement to avoid the bar tape loosening.
What is banned by UCI is wrapping from top to bottom. I also asked this to the trainer, why the reason for wrapping from above was banned. The answer is the same as the video I shared on IG @per.bike.an, namely: the overlap bar tape will open along with the force direction of the rider's palm. For this I agree with UCI, even though the wrapping from above looks neat without any finishing tape.
Another technique that is somewhat unique is: Electrical tape is full. UCI has a reason why the electrical tape must be full, which is to avoid salt and water directly contacting the handlebar. Which salt and water can cause corrosion even on the carbon handlebar though. The next thing is, double-sided tape at the beginning and end of the bartape, the point is only to secure the wrapping to make it stronger.
That's all for sharing from me, one of the things I got from training at UCI.

Wrong direction on the drops. That's simply uncomfortable.

[@getshrekt9023]

Wdym? Genuinely curious?

[@5891jonathan]

Oddly enough, some pros like it this way. I don’t.

[@malthesn]

​​@@getshrekt9023 Your hands tend to "fold" outwards, so by wrapping it the way he did in the video, you are basically "unwrapping" the tape. Won't happen immediately tho.

[@kamaljunior4575]

​@@malthesnThis means that depending on the rider, the rider likes to lean inward or outward. If you tend to be more inward then it is fine to use the method above

Bonne idea! Respect

Bonne idée merci !!!!

Nice tutorial

Are you running 240 volt through those bars ?

Wrong direction on the drop, too much electrical tape, not wrapped right enough.

Nice bars, what make?

THM Frontale, will set you back around 1.000 € tho 😬

You can your own style

[@flydandelion]

too much electrical tape, it'll leave glue on the handlebar

[@shawcobra]

It's inside out

[@sergeimelnikov9059]

А почему через жопу начинают все? Не поще ли наоборот. И на торце руля уже заканчивать и заглушкой фиксировать? Как бы я всегда так делал. На хрена это окончание посреди руля. И дешёвая изолента.

Бред.

Неправильно мотаешь обмотку....!!!! Нужно мотать от рамы на себя!!!!!

[@lawrenceginete1030]

Your electrical tape is against the bar tape. Also wrong direction on the bars. This is just WRONG in every single way.😂😂😂

[@EL_Bi_]

Wrap direction on the drops is personal. Allways wrapped mine inwards aswell. I tend to twist my wrists more inwards than not. Wrap direction on the top there's only one right way and is indeed wrap facing back.

[@mattsteinhoff5514]

All the wrong ways too wrap bars, also tape adds weight.

[@richardupyurass2379]

Started off wrong direction
