So I hate the bars on my cross bike (old steel Bianchi Reparto Corsa) because now I'm used to my swanky new carbon blade bars on my road bike that are thicker.

The old bars just seem ridiculously thin to me now, but I don't want to spend the cash on new bars ... so I thought I'd double tape the bars to give them more girth.

Then I figured while I'm at it I could braid the two layers like I've seen done, but apparently it's not as straight forward as one would think.

Anyone know how to do it and can explain it to me?
