Mrs bampilot didn’t seem to have this much trouble wrapping my bars. She used the park tools method and it worked out fine.

So I am going to go out on a limb and guess that you have never seen the iconic, coming-of-age film entitled "Breaking Away," which many consider to be one of the greatest sports-related films of all time (even though it's not about sports). The actor who plays the lead character is a Philly boy.

Not sure if I any of my attempts at the "figure eight" were proper, or if that even solves the conundrum in post #6084

1) Not everybody's crazy like us.
2) Some people are getting older, or have other reasons they can't ride hard. Illness, maybe or injury.
But it's like I said - it's like a pro joining a beginners' group ride.

It's one of those movies that, when you stumble across it channelsurfing, you stop and watch till it's over, no matter where in the film you come in.

Our road club, which is where I do the semi competitive rides, has banned e-bikes from all our rides. Lately there has been talk of allowing them again.
The other club I ride with sometimes has never had an e-bike show up afaik.
The ride I was referring to was not a club ride, just a small social ride where the lone fast guy would just take it easy and ride with us mortals. Add two good riders with e-bikes and it's a very different ride. I think they are about 250 watts.

I don't think many people realize that the film was nominated for 5 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director. It only won for Best Original Screen Play. Barbara Barrie lost Best Supporting Actress to Meryl Streep for her role in Kramer vs. Kramer. The film did, however, win a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture--Musical or Comedy.

Running it down low allows for better chainring and tyre clearance while having a short effective chainstay. I'm surprised more makers don't just go with an elevated stay.

Because he BELIEVES it, but believing things doesn't make them true. You can easily find another video where an equally experienced person expresses the opposite belief with as much conviction as Park Tool Guy. Why? Because both ways work fine.
So do Figure 8 and stop worrying about wrapping back to front, because that works, too.
Dude. Dude. Seriously. Look at the picture I posted. If you do it right, it solves your problem.
