>> Hi list,
>>
>> I am going to wrap the bars on a bike with some Tressostar tape,
>> problem is that I've never done that using cloth tape before, and the
>> tape being somewhat rare, I'd hate to botch up the job, so would
>> appreciate any cloth tape-specific tips/tricks/instructions. In
>> particular, I'd like to have an idea how long (or short) a roll of
>> Tressostar tape usually is for regular size bars - i.e. should I try
>> to minimize the overlap or not. Also, how do you cover the brake
>> clamps (what's usually done using the specially provided piece of cork
>> tape) - in the usual way (i.e. by using a piece of cloth tape) or
>> differently. Etc.
>>
>> Thanks.
