Product Description
Cinelli’s new bar tape Wave represents a further evolution in their historical approach to EVA-based bar tapes as well as a return to local, Italian manufacturing. The base of Wave is the brand’s signature EVA tape to which a new, proprietary, brushing technique has been applied. This technique, developed in conjunction with their local manufacturing partner, is inspired by the treatments applied to competition-use windsurf booms and allows Cinelli to enhance the grip and feel of the tape without impacting the durability of the product.
Directions
Put the two short pieces of cork ribbon around the back of brake lever sleeves. Starting at the bottom of the handlebar, wrap the ribbon around the bar giving it a complete turn inward letting the ribbon overhang the end by a few mm to allow it to be secured in by the bar ends once complete. While stretching slightly, working your way up the bar, continue coiling the ribbon, wrapping it over the ribbon already applied. Cut excess ribbon and affix with adhesive tape. Tuck in excess cork ribbon into the end of the handlebar and set the bar end cap in position. Repeat the process on the other side of the handlebar.
