hullo carleton...

i am am sure i am making too big a deal of this but it looks like you may be the right (or possibly only) person for a decent answer to my question.

i am leaning towards wrapping my new bullhorns from the stem outward. if i recall correctly...i've seen you post that you wrap this way yourself?

i like the idea of the clean finish without tape by the stem, but am concerned about pushing against the edges of the wrap when it is done this way & the likelihood of such wear curling them up. point of information...i am pretty hard on my bar wrap, like it thin & tight, & ride lots of hours, much of it out of the saddle.

carleton, if you do wrap from the stem out...you do it on your track or road bikes? how does it hold up on either or both? would you recommend to others that they wrap their bars this way?

thanx...
