Product Review: Lizard Skins DSP Tape
Among a year of new awesome stuff, one of the absolute best things to come into my life components wise has been Lizard Skins DSP bar tape. Specifically the 2.5mm thick variety.
I put it on my Space Horse this fall, and now I don't think I'll ever buy anything else again.
I like thick cushy tape, I'd never use cloth and rarely use non gel cork tape, and sometimes even put a layer of tape under the tape for gravel. The 2.5mm DSP is plenty thick enough for my liking, and it seems to stand up to abrasion better than cork. It' nice and tacky (but not sticky), and looks really good.
I can't recommend it highly enough.

Heading to LA
I'll be in Long Beach tomorrow night hanging out with Citygrounds, LA Thursday for this BBQ at Golden Saddle, and then racing the LA Marathon Crash Race.
If you see me out, please say hello!
Rock-It Bicycle Delivery
Rock-It Bicycle Delivery 24hour delivery is up and running in MPLS. I've used the service myself to get some Thai food from a place that didn't deliver, and I have to say that I found the young man's company to be sterling.
Support your local hustling dudes. They'll deliver almost anything to your door for a small fee
On Cyclocross Bikes Cont.
Back this December I did a post on falling in love with my cross bike, and today, I as I ran some errands, I once more got epicly stoked on it.
It hurts my heart quite a bit to admit how much I enjoy it, what with all chorus' of "it's the new fixie!" that it elicits, but hot damn it's good.
The other day Mark said it best (paraphrasing slightly)
For the mixed terrain rides that we have so easy access to in Minneapolis, it's the best.
You either need one of these or a fat tire road bike, on that topic...
It's no wonder that this town has always had such a boner for the Bridgestone line, and it's no wonder that the Surly guys continued the fat tire tradition on a road bike all those years ago (or that All-City followed in those footsteps).
For around Minneapolis, being able to run a 32c tire opens up so many possibilities.
