Hey gang, it's been almost 3 years since I posted pics of my new wrap with Zipp Service Course.

In that time, the nubblies have worn smooth and gotten quite dirty. A while ago (6-9 months?) a section started peeling and I thought "Oh great, planet bike all over again", but it peeled to about the size of a quarter and stayed that way.

Yesterday I took the tape off, swapped sides and wrapped it back on so (mostly) the old dirty parts are what is covered up. Here are pics before taking it off (except with the sealing tape taken off to show the new/dirty contrast), and the final result





I guess $25 is worth it if I get six years of use!!
