@daihard asks:

Q5. A curious question for people who ride bikes with drop handlebars. What is your favourite handlebar tape, and why?

Mine is Supakaz Super Sticky Kush. It's relatively easy to wrap, it feels super comfortable, and it lasts very long.

(If you don't use drop-style handlebars what type of grip do you like?)

@ascentale @daihard @bikenite A5: I just bought new grips! And rode with them the first time today. They're Ergon GT1 grips, and I got the large size despite fairly small hands because that's what they had and they felt comfortable anyway.

they so cuuuuuuuushy i love it

I bought them because they have support for four grip styles, three of which I was doing already on my Ergon Evo grips, but they weren't really very good there and the moment I saw those I was "holy shit need" and while there's some definite need to get use to them - being so cushy means also being thicker - I think it's going to work out. They were definitely comfy even not being used to them, and with my in-remission RSI that's a good thing to have.

@moira @ascentale @bikenite@a.gup.pe I was thinking about Ergon grips too! My do-it-all bike came with grips with no holes on the ends so I can't install a bar-end mirror (or other things that go in the bar end). #BikeNite

@daihard @ascentale @bikenite If I wasn't RSI-girl I probably wouldn't've ever changed out my Evos. They were the first paddle groups I'd had and they're pretty great.

Time will tell, but I think these - which are also paddle grips but with more - will be better.

@daihard @ascentale @bikenite RSI is Repetitive Stress Injury. The girl is me, as in, I have RSI, albeit in (mostly) full remission. But I could bring it back if I stop paying attention to the things that made it happen in the first place.

@moira @ascentale @bikenite@a.gup.pe Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. I hope my question didn't turn out to be a personal one.
@daihard @ascentale @bikenite I was a software developer with the Microsoft Corporation, in systems. It's... kind of a risk of the territory. :/
