Wrapping the Handlebar

You should replace the handlebar tape if it is worn or uncomfortable. Sweat from your hands can cause the tape to degrade. Garmin® recommends wearing cycling gloves.

TIP: It's a good idea to replace the tape on one side first, so you can compare it to the other side.
  1. Remove the bar plugs Callout number one, and pull up the lever hoods Callout number two.
