 The loop of 8? I know what you mean but even for a thicko like me it's a pat on the back lol

 Definately a good first run but getting that figure eight perfect is such a pain in the ass the first few times you do it.

 When I upgrade to drop brake levers I'll have a go at it. Smile The good thing about this bar tape is you can unwrap it if you mess up.

 What kind of tape is it?

 Hmmm... I always use either Fizik or Cinelli and they're both trash once you take 'em off. The Cinelli stuff is so tacky it's trash if you get more than just a couple wraps done wrong and try to go back. The PRO stuff from Shimano is supposed to be pretty good too.

 Ah okay, thanks I'll go for that next time, this stuff is pretty cool but something tells me it'll become loose within a few weeks. Blank Stare

 I've heard that shit is crazy durable! Pretty good looking too... don't they make a crazy lightweight like 1mm thick one as well?

 I think it is 1.8! And yes very durable. We have the green shit on our shop door handles since last summer and it is still money, and reusing is NO PROBLEM MON!!!!
