Ben John-Hynes Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 A zap tap is like a rolling wheel swap. Or a really slow tap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 To be fair, if it's under bars, you're not really tapping it. At least you're not getting a real 'tap' out of it, anyway. You can bonk your front tyre into it, but it won't be the same as a 'proper' tap, basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I like the sound of "Bonk" I'll try that.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
