I mean, seriously, why do they have to put an adhesive backing on it?
To put this simply, I crashed on my Panasonic this morning going to work. I was trying to put my hands in the sleeves of my jacket to get them warm because I've lost my gloves. When I moved back down to put my hands on the bars I lost it. My right hand has some nasty marks on it. My left thumb has about a dime sized wound on it. My left elbow has a nice size scrape on it. And it didn't help my left shoulder any. I was also in front of my bike when I recovered enough to not be writhing in pain. I figure I went off to the front and left.
Overall my bike is fine. My grip tape got torn up and the left bend on my B115's got scratched up pretty well.
But yeah, didn't hit my head, and I'm not really sore. But my road rash certainly doesn't make using my hands easy.
Now how do you get Cinelli tape off the bars?
