What is handlebar end tape used for?

When handlebar tape is fitted to a bicycle handlebar, the end must be secured properly to prevent it from unravelling over time.

The VAR VACO72200 adhesive finishing tape is used for this final stage of assembly. It is applied around the end of the handlebar tape to hold it firmly against the handlebars.

Unlike general-purpose adhesive tape, this type of consumable is particularly practical for use in a bike workshop: its 15 mm width provides a relatively discreet finish whilst offering sufficient surface area to secure the handlebar tape.

The tape is also suitable for achieving neat finishes on various types of handlebar tape.

A professional handlebar tape finish

The final stage of fitting handlebar tape plays an important role in the bike’s overall appearance.

A fastening that is too wide or poorly positioned can detract from the handlebars’ appearance. With its 15 mm width, the VAR VACO72200 allows for a neat and even finish.

Its black colour is particularly versatile and matches easily with black handlebar tape or many other colours.

For a workshop, having a dedicated roll also helps to avoid using adhesive tape that is too wide or unsuitable for this task.

3 rolls of 20 metres

The VACO72200 pack contains 3 rolls of 20 metres, making a total of 60 metres of tape.

This quantity is particularly useful for bike workshops that regularly replace handlebar tape.

For a private individual, a single roll is also sufficient for numerous handlebar tape installations, whilst the other two can be kept for future maintenance.

The compact size also makes it easy to store in a toolbox or workshop.

A consumable suitable for road and gravel bikes

The VAR VACO72200 tape can be used to finish handlebar tape fitted to various types of bikes equipped with curved handlebars:

• road bikes;
• gravel bikes;
• cyclo-cross;
• endurance bikes;
• touring bikes;
• touring bike;
• triathlon bikes, depending on the handlebar configuration.

This is primarily a finishing tape for handlebar tape, and not intended to replace the handlebar tape itself.

How do you use VAR VACO72200 adhesive tape?

To achieve a neat finish, we recommend proceeding as follows:

1. Fit the handlebar tape fully onto the handlebars.
2. Finish wrapping at the designated point.
3. Cut the end of the handlebar tape neatly.
4. Prepare a suitable length of VAR tape.
5. Position the adhesive tape around the end of the handlebar tape.
6. Tension the tape slightly as you apply it.
7. Ensure an even overlap.
8. Press down firmly to ensure a good bond.

Ideally, the surface should be clean and dry before application to ensure optimal adhesion.
