I suffered a bit of a bar tape crisis myself recently, 'tweren't nothin' a little electrical tape couldn't fix though.

Note that the tape on the tops appears to be wrapped as VV prefers.

If you had wrapped it the other way, it wouldn't have unraveled.

I used to retape every year in the spring. But in the last 5 years or so I have been going 2 and 3 years between rewraps. A little Dawn liquid and a nail brush, white Sram super cork looks like new again. Can't beat it.

I was in the hospital for a couple weeks in 2016 and afterwards, every doc I went to for the next year wanted to know when my sleep test was. I figured that the floor nurses must have charted me for apnea or something which my doc confirmed and finally convinced me to get a test. It was a good thing. Last night, my machine recorded 0.3 events per hour over 8 hours. I can't remember my original test but I know the events per hour were in the double digits. I own a regular machine and a travel machine.

8:00 am conference calls should be illegal. At least I got to see what my office looks like at this hour.
