This morning I switched to a shorter stem on my QB, finally (I think, the proof is in a longer ride) getting it dialed in. Pro tip: remove gummy before sliding handlebars into stem or suffer mightily for your laziness!
In unwrapping my top layer of raw cotton tape, I discovered an experiment I’d forgotten about. The under layer of cotton tape was a two layer shellac I’d had on for three months before covering it with the raw. I’ve had my raw cotton top layer on for over a year now. They looked equally worn/weathered, and the raw cotton was slightly less grimy. Fascinating! Plus, cheep Scot that I am, I reused the top raw cotton tape, wrapping it as the now single layer. Now testing to see how long it lasts!
