Newbaum's cotton tape - a photo on Flickriver

            I was pleased with this tape which I now use on another bike, so here is a newly wrapped handlebar on one of my other favorite bikes, my PX-10.   With cotton tape, I just wind the tape an extra turn and do not bother with fancy twine or finishing tape.  This seems to hold fine on my bikes.  If older tape is used (or re-used) the adhesive may have become less sticky.  No problem;  just wipe a bit of fabric adhesive or rubber cement under the final 50mm. and it will again hold securely. __ Notice the vertical oval opening at the rear of this stem.  This and similar French alloy stems of the 1960s and 1970s were often cast with a hollow extension to minimize weight and the rear section was typically left open.  If I lived in a wet climate I might be concerned about water entering a stem here and at very least rusting the steel bolt and expander wedge.  A worst case might even allow water to also enter into the steering tube through the small expansion slots at the base of a stem.  I had once considered sealing these entry points with wax.  But, in this dry desert climate, and especially on a "dry weather only" bike such as this, it would be unnecessary.
