No double wraps of bar tape. No arm warmers or bandages for an injured left arm; just some wrappings borrowed from an Egyptian mummy he sent back to the underworld earlier in the morning. Nothing special for Roger on a typical race day in Hell. Just unmeasurably enormous helpings of Rule #5.

Touché lol!

Not too much pressure, by the way - depending on the tape you'll have a massively lumpy job of it. With Fizik, you want to pull pretty hard and get a very even wrap, while with Cinelli and it's imitators in the varying types of cork and pseudocork, you'll want a firm but not too tight pressure to make sure you avoid the big lump in the middle of each wrap. Be careful on that one, even the Pros will wrap too tight.

I use Spesh Bar Phat with the gel inserts, so the bumps are pretty much a given. I like them, gives the hands extra textural variety when moving around the cockpit.
Each to their own.
Fuckin nails photo by the way.

Unbelievable. Fing glorious. When men were truly men.
Back in '92 when Cycle Sport magazine was launched, it came with a free video. That video was a highlights package of english-language cycling and included a 10 minute segment of "A Sunday in Hell". Later in the decade, as motivation, I used to watch that video the night before races.

That podium jersey Merckx is wearing is superb! You know it's wool too.
Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site.
It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult
to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appearance.
I must say that you've done a very good job with this.
Also, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Chrome.
Superb Blog!
