My sweat has dissolved my bike
Discussion
Noticed the other day that my handlebars weren't quite right. Stripped off the bar tape and was rather surprised to say the least.
It appears that predominantly rollers based (and sweat heavy) training regime has resulted in this:
There was a load of stinking dry stuff under the tape which I can only presume was dried salt. Disgusting.

The right hand bar was ready to snap in two where you can see the crack. The left hand bar had not only corroded through where you can see the holes, but right under the shifter it was essentially hanging together simply because of the bar tape.
And yes, my regular route includes a 45mph hill.
