Do you replace perfectly good bar tape?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

You'll need 2 rolls of Deda black bar tape to do your bar.

I've never seen bar tape tear so easily, any tension at all when rolling the tape on and a tear would start on the edge. I think I had 4 tears wrapping 1 bar, ended up having to use some of the old tape to re-wrap/finish the job.

I'd bring them back and get some Bontrager tape.
