TapeFix!

Last crawled date: 1 year, 11 months ago
In my entry you can find a smart way of using parts from the shelf; a countersunk bolt, wing nut and a piece of rubber tubing, combined with a CNC cut piece of design.
By only mounting it into the CNC lathe twice you can make the end plug, wich makes it quick and easy to produce!
I use the 10mm overhang of the tape to fold back into the handlebar, after you've pushed the plug in, the tape has no way to go! By fastening the countersunk bolt you will force the wing nut into the rubber which will expand and make a tight fit! The good looking logo will hide the bold and finishes off the design. (You could also laser the logo directly into the plug, which leaves out the extra part, the countersunk bold can be easily hidden. In this design the logo is pressed in, it will come lose with a small screwdriver)
The second ring will press the tape against the handlebar, wich will secure it properly.
The final looks can be chosen different ofcourse , but this entry is mostly focused on the way of securing the tape at the end of the handlebar!
Replacing the tape will be a quick and easy job when using this system!
