I’ve noticed lately that the bar tape on my road bike has acquired a rather funky aroma Is there anything to do to get it out, or should I just re-tape? I’m not quite sure what the lifespan of bar tape is; it’s the original tape from '01, so am I due to replace it anyway?.
uhhhhh, spend the 15 bucks and replace it already.
Bar tape and saddles can pick up odor sometimes. change the tape. It will make you feel happy and new.
