Hi Nikki,

I've got road bar tape on my mountain bike handlebars right now - so yes, you can do it. It makes for a smaller grip diameter which is nice if you've got small hands. It was pretty easy - just be sure to overlap the end about 1/3 so that you have something for the end cap to hold on to. I used electrical tape to hold the other end. Basically just like putting on road bars - but easier IMO.

I just did this recently and it has worked fine in tame situations but not sure I'll keep bar tape on because I raced last week and my hands slipped a bit - so will probably go back to my regular grips soon (as soon as I get the energy to deal with putting grips on!)

p.s. I've got a Juliana too - it's the best bike!
