All right, I'll give it a shot! I love the look and I love the feel of a
skinny bar. I also suspect I'll have an easier time wrapping it (after 20
or 30 gel-cork-ish wraps, I still mess it up in different ways each time).
I'm relatively comfortable on my ride--I notice a little hand fatigue
Hey, T-O-STAR Bobs:
We started hoarding Tressostar years ago fearing it was going away. Now
we've got a pyramid of the beautiful stuff all piled up nicely on the
bench. We sleep like a baby knowing it's there, ha. Quite a few different
colors but mostly black. Lots of black as it ages better,
I have cork-like tape on a bike and rock hard shellacked cloth tape on the
others. I can't say I notice a difference in hand/wrist fatigue. I do like the
larger diameter, so I usually double wrap the cloth tape.
Oddly, I really love my padded riv gloves for all day rides. I don't know why

I can't vouch for all-day rides I don't do, but I agree with the others that a
good bike with the saddle and bars in the right places is the key to painless
riding. In general I've found that padding made me less comfortable on the
bicycle; even Riv's formerly-padded Summer Gloves made me feel

When everyone was using cloth tape, randonneurs used cloth tape to do
1200km rides like Paris Brest Paris. By PBP standards, 100 miles isn't
even a warm-up (in fact, we've seen more than
Aye, it's crazy talk. Aye, if 100+ miles is a long ride. As Steve alludes
to, if you're relying on your handlebar covering for vibration dampening
the source of your problem is elsewhere. Could be too much weight forward
or in the wrong angle/position, and a saddle and/or handlebar/stem

Of course they do. Less now, of course, as cloth

I agree, Bill, but I already have scraps of several other colors, plus I'd like
to get some pocket change back to buy...more Newbaum's from Riv! Also, SOLD!

In my opinion, everybody should have a small box of Newbaums containing one
or two rolls of each of the colors you think you might like. Then, next
time you need to wrap a bar, you shop from your internal inventory. If you
are careful and keep the backing paper on the excess every time, you
