Hi,
I did a 40 mile ride this weekend using the new bar tape. Damn stuff actually works. I double wrapped the top of the bar; up to the hoods (with a single wrap on the hood). I also cut a couple pieces of foam to smooth out the transition from hood to handlebar. The result was terrific. I did twice the miles this week than last; and my wrists are bothering me a little less than a week ago. I could see a lot of people liking this stuff.

do you have persistant wrist pains? it could be from your saddle position.... if it is tilted down a bit you will slid forward putting weight on your hands, (also could be where you sit on the saddle as well...)

a good pair of gloves helps too :)

It also could be because I weigh as much as Shamu, and in spandex bear a remarkable resemblance
