What Kind of Grips do you use ?
I :love: love :love: rhode Gears handle bar Hide. they stopped making it about 15 years ago, and when ever I see some at an old bike shop I scoop it up.
if anyone ever sees the stuff on line let me know !!!
any way here is some brand New roll of white.
But my Bike is Dark Blue , and here are the bars after removing the old tape.
As I said my Bike is dark blue and The white wouldn't look as good on it so I am using some black that I took off of my old Road bike very very carefully.
first you soak it in water for about an hour to make the leather more supple. then you lace it up, This part sucks
Once it is all laced , when it dries the leather shrinks a little, tightens it up nicely on the bars , then it is Comphy leather goodness. and the stuff lasts Forever ( ok about 10-15 years )
