I'm looking for those rubber filler strips for the spare grooves in handlebars, like these:

Anybody know where I can score some?

Yeah, I thought that too.

But it's a bit squishy. So the bar tape will unravel.

Probably.

a bead of caulk would work.
or just tape down some old housing.

Maybe fill the gap with your hope and dreams.

If your yearnings are not enough to fill the gaps use old food.

Rice is good and can be shaped to fit most bicycle cavities.

So, that's why the Argon was so heavy. Did you fill frame and wheels or just the frame?

underneath the Argon it's just a Surly Steamroller.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
