While on my long weekend, I visited a very cool bike shop near Blueball Pa (yes, it's a real town!) and whilst browsing the bar wrap section, I found silicon padded cotton bar wrap. I've been wanting to try cotton wrap for a long time but the lack of padding turned me off. When I got home, I wrapped the bars of my International and promptly went for a 25 mile ride covering everything from road, rail trails and some mild single track. I have no complaints from the numbness aspect at all. It replaced very old faux leather wrap that was on the bike and that left me tingling after about 10-15 miles on road. I need to rewrap the top section and then I'll take some pictures, it looks and feels great!
Only problem, I forget the brand name. I sent Zaph a picture of the box but I threw the package out and deleted the picture by mistake....

Oh well
