Just decided to "make" better grips for my fat bike. Had some 550 cord laying around, and going with the mantra of "If it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is..." I just wrapped the 550 cord over the existing cloth grip tape...really tightly. Used an old method from my demo days when tying quad knots, to keep from having to use more tape to hold everything tight.
The grips are now just a little larger in diameter, seem to feel great (in the garage), and look just OK. If I had used plain black cord, instead of stuff with a little white thread in it, it would look better - but, what the heck! It's not a rat rod if you go out and buy stuff whenever you need it!
