There's some extra padding on the hooks because each turn overlaps the previous one a little more than up top, which helps if you spend more time on the drops than the hoods. I like it! | |

For hot network question, fill out title a bit, since that's all that will appear in the HNQ list

| Jun 13, 2022 at 19:10 | comment | added | DavidW | That seems to have worn out really fast; I'd normally expect several times that lifespan. Basically I've never replaced my tape but for when the shop is replacing the cables and housings anyway, and they don't charge labour for that since they'd be doing it anyway. (And the shop I like gives a discount on materials purchased when you pay for an overhaul, so I come out ahead that way.) | |
