Just when you think you are done.

12 07 2008

My bar tape was actually so bad to the point I had taken it off and re-wrapped it backwards to cover up some of the holes. Since I was replacing my tires and adjusting every thing else it seemed like time to replace the bar tape. I have been putting off new tires on my road bike for some time, because while it gets tires are 1/12th a often as my fixed gear. Spending $100-150 bucks every blue moon vs. $20-40 dollars every other month still sucks.

But, I got my road bike taken care of, and just when I thought I was done working on it for it a bit. I realized pretty much the entire drive train needs to be replaced. The chain rings are bent, the cassette is just old and replacing all that will necessitate a new chain.

I guess that’s just whats happens when you play with your toys hard
