Re: Foam or rubber sleeves for flying bar
Thomas,
They are called bar mitts.
Proper mitts are made from neoprene. I am sure Jenya makes them ("aerossa" on this forum).
I know some cyclists have also started using them but not sure if it will fit on a control bar.

Re: Foam or rubber sleeves for flying bar
Thank you for replies !
I am actually looking for the sleeves that go around
the actual flying bar. Rubber or foam grip to prevent
hands slipping on bar.
Kind regards
Thomas

Re: Foam or rubber sleeves for flying bar
I use "Heat Shrink" that we as electricians use to isolate electrical cables. Get them in different colours, red,white, blue, yellow and black and in different sizes. Buy it one size bigger than what your flying bar diameter is slip it over and then I use my wives hair drier to crimp/shrink it on. Buy them from local electrical suppliers like Voltex or ACDC.

Go to Sportsman's warehouse and buy the cricket bat handle colour of your choice. Apply thin layer of Sunlight dishwasher to apply and should replace within 40 min. they only last about 2 years though.

Thanks to all for response.
Think both heat shrink and bat handle grips
will work.
On my way to Sportman's Warehouse.
Kind regards
