Re: The Cycling Thread
What colour are the hoods on the levers ? As IMHO bar tape should always match the hood colour.
My preference has always been for black tape.

And cleaning white hoods is a pain too. White tape is ok, so long as it has a gloss finish, like Bike Ribbon used to have. Haven't seen that for a while though.

Re: The Cycling Thread
I'd put black tape on that and be done with it. But at the end of the day its your bike not mine...

Re: The Cycling Thread
I've fished the single speed out the garage, flipped the hub so its on the freewheel, put my pedals on and swapped the garmin onto it. I've been a bought a new helmet today and am going to try a gentle ride to work tomorrow on the quiet backroads and see how I feel...

Re: The Cycling Thread
Having heard nowt I spoke to the drivers insurance company this morning, who have no record of my conversation with them last week. Brilliant. I am supposed to email them in order to make a claim, which is not what I was told last week.
I have emailed them now so see what happens...
