Brooks leather bar tape isn't the same leather as the saddles (that would
be much too thick, of course). It's thinner and has a wax treatment from
the factory (which is noted in the accompanying paperwork, iirc) so it

I agree that you should try hammering it first. It could be that the rivet

I have no experience with Albastache bars but a lot with Trek 5/6/720 from
that period. They tend to steer a bit more quickly than any of the RBW
bikes I have ridden and so I would wonder if the wider bars might
accentuate that. Just a thought.

Hugh, another option is the 26 x 1.75 Pasela. The 1.75 model has beefier

I agree about the plugs. I've never gotten them to stay in long without a
little adhesive. I have also seen that some of the Brooks tape colors fade
due to sun exposure (badly in some cases). I haven't had this problem with
the 9 year old honey tape. They've darkened nicely with age.
