On the subject. Kinda. Any ideas for a white bar covering that won't be too dirt-sensitive?
Strong maybe? I'm just after the top half of my drops for the red bike, but my yellow Ouro's on the gay bike have gone all grubby, and I would rather avoid that...

If you ain't after looks - or compliments! - then go for the Bontrager cork bar tape. Its not the shitzle, or the pizzle, but they will survive the drizzle! Holds up well to daily abuse. Obviously not for the fashionistas!
