Lever Hoods
Do I need brake lever hoods to do bar tape and make it look good? Is there a way to wrap the bar without hoods
I recently purchased a vintage Schwinn Varsity and I wanted to wrap the handlebars with bar tape but I do not have brake lever hoods. The vintage ad I have of the bike shows the bars wrapped without brake lever hoods but I have not seen this done anywhere on the web in terms of do-it-yourself instructions. Should I start looking for hoods or try to mimic the ad? Here is the website for the ad http://www.geocities.com/sldbdealer6/1963/63dlct08b.jpg
Try with some cheap bar wrap until you figure it out. You do not need hoods to make it look good or have LBS wrap them first time.
