Hello OCD Bar-Wrap Victims!Just to add to the fun about bar wrapping, there is the ever-popular controversy about whether you should wrap clockwise or counter-clockwise from the bar end, and whether you should do this symmetrically or asymmetrically. The general consensus here in Woodstock NY is to wrap clockwise on the right, counter-clockwise on the left, so that when you view the bars from a seated position, the lines will form a smooth V on the tops that slices through the wind, and makes it possible to top your best century ride time by at least 24/100,000 of a second : ) Too cool for words here in the land of peace and love...5 below, in fact!Stuart StiffeyWoodstock, NY
