In addition to their standard tape, see this page for info on their new tape.

Has anyone tried this new cushioned Newbaum's yet?

I'm looking for something to replace my cork grips: something more easily replaced/renewed and about the same diameter.

Thanx,

John

Ergon makes a variety of fine grips IMHO.

And Ergons get even better when wrapped with a nice thin cotton tape.

  Thanks, I'm looking for a padded tape to use with bar ends, so Ergons wouldn't be my first choice.

I decided to order some of the padded Newbaum's to give it a try.

Though I would like to see a pic of Newbaum's tape over Ergon grips. That sounds pretty funky. :)

I'll have to try them. I used to just run multiple newbaums, and then switched to leather. I miss the various Newbaum colors

Seems pretty similar to Velo Orange's thicker tape, which I've had in the past and found a little too absorbent of sweat to look pleasant for long.

I do well with two layers of Newbaum's, each layer coated in shellac. It's thicker, but no more absorbent.
