If you want the whole detail on my shifter tuning adventure you can read about it on my blog here: http://www.the-climb.net/2012/03/sram-f ... rdown.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Anyways, I thought I'd share my little project as I haven't seen this done yet and I've been inspired by many projects on here.
I wanted a light weight hood that's strong, long lasting, and grippy. Basically It's a ghetto version of the BTP hoods. I've used carbon fabric as that's what i have but I'd imagine it working with any fabric to be honest. The rubber acts as the resin and supplies the tackiness and flex that's required. Unfortunately, the stuff isn't flexible enough to slip on and off so I had to use a tying method to install it. It feels great and should wear quite well.
I'll let the pictures do the talking as its quite simple to follow. (i couldn't be as concise with my process as it take a quick hand so I didn't have time to take pics of every step). Let me know if you have any questions.
