after putting some rather nice Red Salsa bar tape on the cx bike. I noticed the packet had warnings about lead in the tape, and saying it is hazardous and to wash hands immediatly after contact. Should I just replace the tape then? Seems an odd choice of material for something you're supposed to hold onto.
As kids, we did a lot of fishing..
A nervous reaction to the anxiety of waiting for a bite, was to nibble at the lead weights we used..
I must have eaten pounds of the stuff during the course of my fishing career..
I must admit that my bowel has been pretty ****ed of late
Will I die?
Yes.
Will the lead in your bar tape have a significant effect on the dying?
No.
I think lead poisoning affects your brain,maybe you'll go a bit daft?
explains a lot in yunki's case then

Already has by the evidence of red bar tape. Rule 8, man!
It is still in plenty of water pipes about the place
The nastiest stuff is the white oxide you can get from lead. In a bar tape, it seems a ridiculous material to use.
If you want to be cautious I would wash hands before touching God directly you wish to eat. Apple's etc.
Me? I would just replace the tape personally... So save weight.Lol
I always wash hands before touching God

Yeah,I am getting to hate predictive texts!
Judging by the amount of, admittedly funny, typos I see on here I'm not the only one. 😀
