I tried bare bars (Noodles) for the past several weeks.
They were ok but my hands got cold.
I've got em cloth taped and shellacked now.

The best tape is no tape! I've got bare Nito moustache bars on my 'B'
bike, and I love the look and, more importantly, FEEL of the bare
aluminum. As they say in the riv reader, it's kinda like grabbing a
sword. The cold is not a factor because I wear gloves full gloves when
it's real cold, and they're not really slippery when the going gets
sweaty.
I also like the velox rim tape with shellac method, as it looks great
and seems like it will last nearly forever, but shellacking is such a
damned tedious nightmare. And it gets all over every other part of
your bike.

Pete,
I've rewrapped Brooks leather handlebar wrap 3 times on the same bars
for various setups with no problem.

+1 for cheap.
I like to mess around with parts on my bike, and often need to re-
wrap
the bars.
Cloth is cheap. The shellacking IS a pain, though.
I've heard great things about Fizik tape and I might try some next
time around.
Anyone have any experience with re-using bar tape (Fizik or
otherwise?)

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?
