Appropriate wrapping of road bike handlebars is a real test of the skills of any bicycle mechanic, and it is one of those simple projects that can make a savvy DIYer extremely difficult. Admittedly, this requires a certain amount of skill and practice, but it is easier to carry out a wrap-up package than you think — as long as you get the correct guidance.
We will provide you with the know-how, skills and insider knowledge you need so that you can wrap the road bike handlebar every time you change the handlebar. To get started, all you need is a roll of tape, some black electrical tape and scissors.
Start from the bottom of the handle
The edge of the belt will be cut off by approximately 1/3. After completion, you will be able to use the handle to remove the excess material

Fold into the handlebar.
Start wrapping from the outside
Your handlebars should be wrapped so that you can hold the straps with both hands while riding. This means that you have to wrap the handlebar with the handlebar from the outside, down towards the frame.

Be sure to tighten the strap slightly.
You need to wrap it tightly, but it doesn’t matter so that the strap will be torn when the package is wrapped. The key is to ensure that it is pulled tight enough so that it will not untie when riding.

When you touch the transmission
You can use a small piece of adhesive tape in the box to cover the outside of the transmission, or you can use the wrapping method, which will be cleaner.

When you touch the stem
Please cut the handlebar strap at an angle so that the last wrap can be parallel to the stem. Cut off the tip of the handlebar, then fix it with electrical tape and wrap it from the front to the back of the bicycle.

Don’t forget to refine the details.
The end plug will be fixed in place, and then the enclosed decorative tape will be attached to the electrical tape.
