Sticky steering wheel
My 06 Disco 3 recently suffered the sticky steering wheel syndrome and, despite multiple efforts to clean it, continued to leave my hands stickier than a stick insect after the shortest trip. On advice from fellow member ronp, who steered me (!) in the right direction, I got a refurbished wheel from Royal Steering Wheels in Aylesbury. Jack charged £120 for the wheel, and £15 to fit it in about 20 minutes flat. I could have had a go myself, but the cost of buying the tool for one use seemed unnecessary and, as they say, if you want a job done quickly, ask a busy man. I am chuffed with the job that Jack did, and can strongly recommend him if you are thinking of swapping your wheel.
Whilst waiting for the job to be done, I taped my old wheel with some bicycle handlebar tape, and this kept the stickiness at bay for a while. The pictures show my handiwork and the finished article from Jack.

to me, to be honest, I find more nice the finish Jack , I see yours better for Bradley Wiggins bike or so.... although I think that really will be little aerodynamic... lost in translation!

Bike tape
I'm Scottish, so Chris Hoy would be my preference!

I hate SEAT!! ...and ....Contador don´t really like me if I say the truth!! ...and the "Fiesta" I don´t like, nor Flamenco at all ... rather I hate Flamenco.... lost in translation!
