A Little TLC


Last night I got sick of looking at my dingy brownish-blue bar tape so I swapped it out for fancy new white tape that will be dingy and brown in about five minutes. I had also gotten around to getting refitted, but wasn't very comfortable afterward. I felt too cramped in the cockpit, so while I was changing my bar tape I also readjusted my shifters and tilted my bar back to being level. My saddle height was also a little high (still acceptable, but just barely), so I brought that down about a centimeter. I went for a ride around Valley Forge today and had no comfort issues. Everything felt... well, I didn't notice anything, and I think that's about as high of praise as you can give when it comes to fit. We'll see if I feel the same way in the coming weeks.
