Had a slide out

spasypaddy

You know where the bike leaves you and you slide on the road and it slides on its side, well that happened to me this morning due to the rain.

The grip tape is damaged but has only been replaced about 2 weeks ago is it really worth replacing again?

fluff.

If there's not too much damage I'd be tempted to bodge it with some suitably coloured electricians tape, new tape isn't expensive though (Planet-x have still got lots at £3 a go), I guess it's more the fiddle putting it on.

As your brand new handlbars will be likely made of ally or carbon it's very unlikely they'll rust

Word. & bar tape isn't waterproof
