I've never come across any like that, and if I did, I'd piff em for a design that isn't so damn ******3d.


Speaking of ******3d, ******3d is not an expletive, it's a quite proper word used for much more than indicating the developmental shortcomings of others, and censoring it is not only condescending and inconvenient, it's... take a guess.

A ridiculously long censored word list is no sort of replacement for proper moderation.
it's pretty standard for campy ergo levers, I find.
shimano STI levers fair a bit better.

yeah, I've never seen bar tape that was one shot only. Even the ones that tear easily, like cinelli cork, won't tear if you're careful when unwrapping it. There's also no need to unwrap beyond the lever and the tape will have some bends in it from conforming to the bars and cables, which makes it rather easy to rewrap it.
