help with felt grips

[LSM]

I'm looking for examples (photos appreciated) and advice on application of adhesive felt grips for albatross handlebars with bar end shifters.  

Thanks,

Leo

Go to the Rivendell website and do a search for "wool felt grips".  Several blog posts (below) come up about installing such grips.  In several cases they show a left-side installation with a bar end shifter.  No reason you couldn't also do on the right side.  I may do this myself!

Here are several specific Rivendell blogs I found:

*  grips the hard way in nine basically easy steps...;

*  NOV BLAHG; and

*  Bike of the week, some miscellaneous notes....

Awesome posts!  i'm inspired to create my own design.  in case you don't know, felt pads are currently available at SOMA, as well as Newbaums tape and twine.

I’d like to add that the felt without the adhesive (coasters on the Riv site) are my personal favorite choice as they allow for easier reuse. If applied over cotton bar tape, using twine or rubber bands or whatever else you could think of to hold in place, they wont move around. The felt clings to the cotton well enough on its own without the need for adhesive. It clings very well to Oury grips and ESI grips too.
