Hey guys! A newbie here, bought my first gravel bike (used), bought a Lizard Skins tape, paid a bike mechanic to tape it and this is how it's done. Is it my perfectionist raging or he fcked up? 🫤
That’s awful. You could have done it yourself and had better results compared to that shit. I’d go back and ask them to do it again.

I was gonna say “Not bad for a first attempt…” but – *you* ***PAID*** *for that shit-show!?*
I wouldn’t trust *anything* done by that bike “mechanic”…

Make them re do it/pay for the new tape. At first I thought this post was a first attempt at wrapping lol

Oh my god.
Did they put the small strips between the mount and the bar? Or is that just where they transitioned. This is bad.

I can’t imagine giving this back to someone who paid me money to do it for them.

Nine times out of ten, I would like to comment on here: if you don’t know X, Y, Z, either check youtube or have a mechanic do it.
This is just an awful service from your mechanic, would be a reason for me to look for another shop after they fixed the mess or reimbursed me.

I have never done it and think i could do a better job if i just learn from slowly unwrapping a worn out good job. So i would not accept that.

I say this seriously and with compassion, I did a better job my first time after just watching some videos. Take it back. Unfortunately it’s a bad job, but at least you know not to trust this guy with any more important jobs
