Garage door seal makes a great first layer for thickening up the padding on bars. Early in the day while moving some boxes in the garage the remnant of a former home improvement project tumbled to the floor.

I electric taped a piece of the door sealer to the bars, then bar wrapped over the top. So far its quite comfortable.

Wil, that picture is way cool. I really like it. Was a good day out for sure. Looking forward to more riding… when are you starting the century a month?
