Using black electrical tape (or tape provided with your bar tape), tightly wrap the end of the bar tape to the handlebars to secure it in place. I like to do several, tight wraps to really make sure everything is in place and secure.nstall Note: How far you wrap the bars up the handlebars on your road bike is a personal preference and dependent upon how much bar tape you have available. Personally, with flat surface bars like the K-Wings, I do not need/want the tape to extend all the way to the center of the bars on the top.
When the finish is off, go over the entire piece with a scraper to remove any remaining traces of finish. A furniture scraper is best, or use steel wool dipped in thinner. Always scrape with the wood grain, and be careful not to dig into the wood. If necessary, sand the wood smooth. No neutralizing is necessary.
