Using this bar tape is easy. First, clean the handlebars to make sure there's no dirt or grease. Then, start wrapping the tape from the end of the handlebars, keeping it tight and even. The finish strips can be used to secure the end of the tape neatly. The clamp covers and screw - in plugs are for a more professional look. When it comes to maintenance, you can use a mild soap and water to clean the tape gently. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the tape. Also, try not to expose the tape to extreme temperatures for a long time, as it could affect its performance and durability.
