The tape looks good but wrapping direction isn't a matter of choice, it's about mechanical advantage! From riders position: rh/s should be clockwise until you get past the brakes and then anti clockwise. LH/s should be anti clockwise until you get past brake levers and then clockwise. This will prevent you naturally unwinding the tape when in contact with the bars. Like the authentic look here though, especially with the twine👍

You could wrap them in either direction using this method. If you wrap our bars as shown in the video they don't switch direction at the hoods. There are ways to flip the direction but they often use more tape length than needed. I always prefer starting at the bottom of your bars to resist the peel effect you describe. If done properly this tape will never unwind because of the tension that you can apply to it during wrapping.

Agree totally. The pressure on the tape applied by the hands is downwards on the outside at the drops. The tape should be tightening in this direction. So the video is correct at this point. Once past the hoods, the pressure applied by the hands is downwards on the outside at the hoods and downwards on the rear of the bar at the tops. Once again the tape should always be tightening. This means the direction must be reversed at the hoods by pulling the tape from the front to the rear on the inside of the hoods then continuing to wrap but now from front to rear. Then when the downward pressure is applied by the hands at the rear of the bar, the tape will be tightening. No matter how tight your wraps, there will always be a little stretch in the tape and this method will ensure that it doesn't become loose on the bars.

@@Carsonleh mechanically it is better to wrap so that the pressure applied by the hands is tending to tighten the tape. See my reply to @oldleadfoot9026.

Nice! I bought a vintage Raleigh and want to wrap the bars with leather bar tape. The original tape is in good condition and on the bars and is very thin. What is your opinion of putting the leather tape over the original?

My preferred width is 38cm, about as narrow as they get.
