I don't want to hi-jack Mr. Hankey's thread, so...
I assume the STI levers have a clamp that goes around the bar, yeah? Is it possible to wrap the bars, THEN put the levers/clamps on OVER the wrap?
Thanks!
both thee the Wife and I have leather handle bar covering Similar to what Opie posted . Ours is ( discontinued ) Rhode Gear Handlebar hide , and we don't do any thing special to it , and it has lasted for years
heres mine
Splat, why'd ya wrap it that way? What's your opinion on the result?
I've been thinking about where I want the seam.
As y'all already know, I'm not much of a bike mechanic...Well to get it to go around the brake hoods properly ( with out cutting the leather ) you have to lace it that way for the first 100 or so miles the seam is annoying , but then it wears down and you don't notice it any more.
