Hi kawasakiguy37,

If you mean Brooks leather bar tape, I would not recommend it. First it has huge lumps every inch when installed. I blame that in part on a terrible case of Ulnar nerve damage a few years ago. Second they became ugly quickly. They did not weather well at all. Do give the stitch on elk hide from Velo Orange a look.
