There are differing opinions on which direction is better but I wrap bullhorns this way. Overlapping like this prevents your hands from snagging the edges of the tape when riding with your palms on the curves.

Instead of reading through 369 pages to see if it's been asked: What bike do you ride daily to work or which one do you ride the most?

Because my left hand is still bandaged up, gripping a handlebar is a bit of a challenge so I've been cruising on my Fuji townie. My Thunderdome is usually my daily rider.

Track stand
Hey Scrod,
Sorry for all these less than brilliant questions but thanks for putting up with the noobs.
My latest question concerns track standing. Does fork rake and the resulting trail of a bike effect the ease of track standing? I know that it takes some practice but falling, with both feet strapped in at a stop light is quite embarrassing. I've done this. I was just curious if 53 mm of trail is making mastering this technique a bit more challenging.

He punched out a customer who walked into his store asking to buy a single Tektro cross lever.

Do you know anything about the availability of the 2015 model fizik saddles? Specifically i am looking for the aliante r3 or r5. Are these available yet or any idea when you might be able to get them?
Thanks.

Scrod,
I was in the area so I stopped by your shop on Monday, man was I drooling all over your sidewalk, sorry.
How do you make bikes into such works for art ?
Are you doing any Black Friday sales ?

We probably won't do any in-store "Black Friday" sales but will most likely have some sort of Cyber-Monday something-or-other happening online.

Hey Scrod,
Thanks for the Hozan pliers, super impressed with how quick they got here to the land of Skippy. I'd forgotten how well they worked; I got a pair of wheels with Campy record hubs, and was chewing the sh** out of the Campy locking with my locking tool.
