Spurcycle band "fix"

Just heat shrink around the metal band. Not that I ever found it scratched the bars.

Heatshrink is one of the coolest inventions on earth. I'm a big fan.

But yeah, who's complaining about their bars getting scratched up?

He lost me at "Bell and Carbon Bars".

First world stuff indeed.

There is some cool stuff on that site though. I love these:

That could be such a little subtle in-joke on a bike. $15, so not a crazy thing.

My stuff always ends up scratched from riding.

Sweet tip about using heat shrink, but I think I just had my first get-off-my-lawn moment. I hate the layout of that website; too bright and really difficult to read. Made me navigate away.

Signed,
