HANDLEBAR TAPE REPLACEMENT ON RACING BIKES

Replacing the tape is a simple operation, please follow the instructions below:

STEP 1: Remove the old tape and clean the handlebar
Remove the old tape and clean the handlebar of any remaining glue residue.
After cleaning is complete, turn the rubber protectors placed over the brake levers back on themselves and apply the strip of handlebar tape over the metal band.
REPLACEMENT

STEP 2: Positioning the tape
Take the tape out of the package, unroll it and remove any protective film.
Start rolling the tape from the bottom of the handlebar and continue upward. Roll the tape inward to prevent it from coming loose over time. Leave 1/3 of the tape protruding from the edge of the handlebar end. Once the taping is complete, turn the excess material back inside the handlebar and secure it with its appropriate cap.
Positioning the tape

STEP 3: Applying the tape
Pay careful attention to ensure you do not overlap more than half the section of the handlebar tape. Keep the tape slightly tout (be careful not to overstretch as it may break) to avoid wrinkles or it coming loose while using the bike.
REPLACEMENT

STEP 4: Applying the tape around the controls
Near the shift-brake control area wrap the handlebar tape around the control using a figure-of-eight or infinity motion.
REPLACEMENT

STEP 5: Securing the tape
Use scissors to cut off any excess handlebar tape. Using scissors, diagonally cut a small part at the end of the ribbon. Secure the handlebar tape using the adhesive strip supplied or with electrician’s tape.

STEP 6: Inserting the caps

For proper maintenance, it is recommended to clean with a water-dampened cloth at ambient temperature and a mild detergent. Dry with a soft cloth but not close to heat sources or direct exposure to sunlight. Do not try to improve cleaning by using solvents or abrasive cloths.

CONFORMITY DEFECTS

In the event of conformity defects, you may contact the retailer from whom the handlebar tape was purchased. This is in relation to defects of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the product and which emerge within two years from the time of purchase, or within the longer period of time taking into account the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the purchaser resides, namely, the country in which the natural person acting for purposes unrelated to the entrepreneurial, commercial, handicraft or professional activity resides. To be able to make a claim under the warranty for lack of conformity, you must provide proof of purchase of the handlebar tape. We therefore recommend that you keep all documentation related to the purchase of the product.
