Re-wrapped the bars Sunday morning. No shellac. But, yes, using the
twining method shown by Rivendell in a recent video. While at it,
replaced the DirtDrop stem with a regular Nitto. Probably placebo
effect, but the handling seems to have slightly changed for the
better.

Yes, something like that. It was my first time so I am by no means an
expert.
I bought the cheapest padded tape at REI. It was Profile brand. With
one roll I was able to do like a 7 inch layer on each 'grip'. With
the other roll I did another layer of padded tape. Then I took a

I had great luck with the shellacked cloth over cork - nice thick bar that
feels like cotton goodness. No cracking, just nice beausage.

What is your method for wrapping cloth over cork, specifically on the
Bullmoose? Is it two layers of cork and one layer of cloth?
Something like that...?

I'm just trying shellacked cloth OVER padded tape. Yeah, it's for the
'grips' on my bullmoose bars, but I know several folks who use cloth
over padded on drop bars as well. Does shellacked cloth over padded
tape crack the same way shellacked cork does?

Murphy's Oil Soap will do the same.

I switched over to cloth. The Viva/Toshi from Jitensha and Newbaums
are comfortable enough for me. If I go back to cork (and right you
are with the quotes, cork tape
I like the Fizik tape. Thinner than cork, thicker than cloth with a
nice clean look.

"Cork" tape is generally washable. A scrub with a little Simple Green
and water should make even white tape look clean again.

The same problem happened to me all the time when I used to shellac
cork and I did not care for it because of all of the cracking. I also
did not like how slippery it felt in the rain and with gloves on in
the winter. I strongly prefer the feel of unshellaced cork to the
shellaced variety.

I used to use the Cinelli cork tape raw. Very comfortable grip.
Definitely gets dirty quick.
