Yes

I took a spill a few months ago. A few days later I was heading out for a longer ride and noticed that the bar tape had been frayed and was unpeeling. Slapped some electrical tape on so I could leave and haven’t thought about it since, until yesterday!

this is so boring.
new guy youre free, go contribute in other threads
never talk about bar tape again

[BEEutiful_Wednesday_DDS]

so was the old tape like…patched with electrical tape, or completely electrical taped over?
and yet this entire time you’ve had functional (if still terrible) bar tape in your possession?
as one of tarck’s laziest bike maintainers (see avatar), i feel compelled to judge you negatively

Looks like the new guy knows the guy I got my new bike from. Fucking disgusting I touched the grip accidentally and it’s just slimy.

have light up Bike Nutz on my cargo bike.

I had a “If you don’t like my driving dial 1-800-EAT-SHIT” bumper sticker on for a while too, but decided it was a little much.

Hey there, please welcome me.

I’ve just moved from Canada to Germany and picked up a bike yesterday, so I’d like to show it off here. It’s a Trek 950 from somewhere around the 1990th year. Full German spec. including fenders, rack, kickstand and dynamo. Here’s a photo from it’s first ride home.

Got home and threw everything I had around at it, so by this afternoon it was looking like this.

Not shown in the picture is the rear shifter which is completely lacking the shifters themselves, and you may not be able to make out the busted pawls in the front shifter leaving it stuck cross-geared.

Back in Canada, I left behind 2 other bikes I’d like to share with you. This one I call Marc 1, built in Ashland, OR at UBI in the early 2010s.

Any help is appreciated.

The marc 1 bike and pun is terrible and I like it.

It’s just been modded to be a 1x.

Are the pawls actually busted, or do you just need to spray some solvent in the shifter to clean out all the old grease that’s now turned to wax and frozen them in place?

In a Schupplade unter my Bett! Still working up my integration skills so I can ride around with a single wide open Ortlieb
