I'm sure someone else has already tried this, but I thought I would share. If any women out there have really small hands, sometimes its hard to find a good place in the drops without feeling like your hands are sliding down. My mechanic (who is also my SO), unwrapped my bar and then took about a 10 inch piece of bar tape and wrapped it right below where my hands settle and then taped the bar back as normal. It looks kind of wierd because it looks like my bar has a wart on each side but WHAT a difference it made! Anyway, if anyone is interested, its cheaper than a new bar and really helped keep my hands where I want them to be. I can post a picture if anyone is interested.
