True. But I'm also stingy.

Fully wrapping bullhorns usually only uses one half of a package (one roll). This is usually how I justify buying nice tape, since I don't use drop bars. Can't yet do it for lizard skins...maybe next paycheck.

I wear gloves all the time, considering my drops are only half covered because I use grips.

Most unstable feeling I have had not wearing gloves yesterday, not to mention my bars were cold as ****.

GLOVES ALL DAY

fully wrap, avoid jackass drop, and never need to rely on gloves unless its freezing.
