Then came the tricky parts.

1. How can you get a clean tape job on the wrap end closest to the stem? I couldn't figure out how to cut the tape so that I didn't have 1.5 inches of electrical tape holding the wrap on the end.

2. Inserting the bar ends...I know that you are supposed to leave a little tape off of the end to tuck into the open part of the bar. Well I did that but when I tried to put the bar end on, the tape wasn't cooperating. The bar end finally started to go on but then the tape started to pull off of the end of the bar.

Does anyone have ANY tips or tricks to do this job??
