Aye, it's crazy talk. Aye, if 100+ miles is a long ride.
When everyone was using cloth tape, randonneurs used cloth tape to do 1200km rides like Paris Brest Paris. By PBP standards, 100 miles isn't even a warm-up (in fact, we've seen more than once in BQ ride reports that Jan has ridden 100+ miles from home to the start of a brevet, then ridden home another 100+ miles afterwards).
As Steve alludes to, if you're relying on your handlebar covering for vibration dampening the source of your problem is elsewhere. Could be too much weight forward or in the wrong angle/position, and a saddle and/or handlebar/stem adjustment is in order (play around with one thing at a time, learn from failure, so it isn't failure. Grin.) Learn to absorb shock with knees and elbows, ride plush tires, and slap a single layer of delicious cotton tape on there! Grin.
I can't think of a single thing to add to that list. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
