Yes, there are a lot of ME FIRST! people out there. Then again, there are a lot of truly appreciated people out there too. Unfortunately for many, a bicycle is their ONLY means of transportation and therefore when something needs done on it they think it can be done quickly whilst they wait. Many customers who do not work on their own bicycle or who do not work on bicycles at all simply do not realize how long even a simple repair might take.
The above is likely why many do not even attempt to tape their own handlebar. Given the cost of bar wrap these days they are quite hesitant to try taping a hnadlebar them selves in case they botch the job.
Cheers
