Odd. I'd never heard anyone have problems with Bar Phat, other than the older type could leak, it's too heavy, and it's too squishy. I didn't use it for a couple years when I got the old K-wings, but with the new compacts, I use it on the drops. I also like the texture of the tape.

You swim with your mouth closed, right?

Very strange then, sbxx. I have been lucky in that regard, as my hands don't seem to care what bar tape they grab.

sb I would have to assume its a fit/geometry issue. they are too similar for it to be anything else. I put the rear wheels of both bikes against a wall and measure from the wall to everything and look for some discrepancy. pay attention to bar angle, height distance from seat and hood angle. a carbon fork on the less stiff frame shouldnt cause this issue.

that and your position is correct and your body is ok with the position etc. everyone is different. like I said my hands are ok but my elbows are shot so thats where I have my issues.

I have gel under my bar wrap and I tape my wrist. I'm going to try putting less weight on my wrists but how? Just hold my body up with my lower back?

with a stronger core you will be able to keep more of the weight off of your hands, not just with your lower back.but your entire core.

At the intersection near work, the homeless guy had a new sign today.
"Slep with Lindsay Lohan last week. Need help."

Exactly.
I guess when you've got a wounded duck program and your administration decides to go cheap (despite having a $100 million budget), that's who you end up with--a wait-and-see, second-tier candidate.

Hmm. I guess you really can't say it.
