[RBW] Handlebar Wrap - Why Not Leather?
Question for the group. It appears as though there is a general overall preference for using cloth or cork handlebar wrap / grips rather than leather. Why is it so skewed away from leather, especially considering so many of us try and have our handlebar cloth or cork resemble the leather saddles on our bikes so closely? Why not just use leather bar wrap? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Why not just use leather bar wrap? I like leather bar wrap. It looks good, feels good, and lasts a long, long time. Leather bar wrap will outlast cloth by at least 3 to 1, maybe more, and will outlast cork as well. In the long run, cloth is probably more expensive than leather bar wrap, when you figure in how often you have to replace it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
