Although I work in a bike shop and am reasonably capable at the few mechanical tasks I perform on my own bikes, I'd never actually changed my own bartape - until last week.
This first end could have been a little tighter, but I did better on the second side.
This was the final touch on a bit of a makeover for Jan for the start of the 08-09 'Cross season. In addition to fresh orange tape, he's got orange "Hudz" - replacement lever hoods.
And remembering how dry the first couple of London League races were last year, I've fitted these lovely grey Vittoria clinchers.
I plan to change the brakes, too, but we haven't yet got the stock of Spooky's we're expecting. In the meantime, I'm pretty pleased with myself for getting these adjusted just right all by myself!
