I love bar wrapping, I'm a natural at it and find it therapeutic. However I haven't done it in decades. Currently I have straight bars with grips, but I'd like bullhorn bars and when I fit those, I'll be using what they used to call Grab-ons, black dense foam covers, slip on with soapy water or shave cream. I need the extra hand cushion. I was always stylish so for aero brake levers, I'd put the cables under the Grab-ons, that part was tricky, as well as making a small rectangular cutout near the end and slipping the brake handle bracket inside to clamp the brake handle on, bracket overlapping the foam, with the rubber brake hoods providing more overlap for a really pretty installation.
