I recently came into possession of a roll of fluorescent green Pro-Gaff gaffer’s tape<\/a>. To date I’ve got little experience with gaffer’s tape<\/a>, but from playing with and reading up on it, it appears to be the sort of tape that does everything that one ascribes duct tape<\/a> to do, but probably actually does it. Most specifically, it has less vinyl and a finer cloth structure in the tape itself, and the adhesive is synthetic rubber and designed to be removed cleanly.<\/p>\n

As a result of this, I replaced the duct tape wrapped around my bicycle pump handle with some of this tape. I think that, should the need arise to use tape for emergency bicycle repairs, this will be the tape of choice. The cloth leads me to believe it’ll be a very functional tire boot, and the finer adhesive seems like it won’t stick to itself as readily, a problem which generally renders a piece of duct tape unusable.<\/p>\n

Shown above is my Crank Brothers Power Pump Ultra<\/a> with seven or eight turns of tape wrapped around the handle. I’ve been quite happy with this pump so far; it’s just worked every time I’ve needed to use it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
