Newbaum's cloth handlebar tape

Fantastic handlebar tape. It's easy to wrap, or rewrap, and the sticky backing is forgiving. The grippy milled cotton never feels sweaty or grimy, even after a long tour. Inexpensive, and good for things other than handlebars, too, like rakes or shovels.

Made in the USA, and in good colors too. Theoretically it shellacs well but I like the texture and durability as is. Your local shop might stock it? If not, website is good and shipping is fast. Losts of fun accoutrements too, like cork bar ends and finishing twine.
