Or tape up the handlebar.

Doesn't work for some of us, but couple of layers of helicopter tape does

i'm on the used bartape over foam insulation for ttube protection

once the rain stops im gonna wrap my IshT with left over jeans material

Flat denim doesn't compress much so that won't soften barspin impacts.

foam pipe insulation underneath as long as its not bulky

Foam gets squished over time, and stays squished.

just thought, why not just use some worn out grips? rubber would be ideal, cut and inch off, wrap it around and a bit of pvc tape, sorted

I used an off cut of Lizard Skin bartape with electrical tape over the top.

I used a long strip of innertube wrapped round several times and finished with tape. About an inch and a half wide... Looks semi pro.

since I stopped trying to do barspinz on my trackbike I've never had that problem.

Dinging a frame in a crash may change your perspective.

^^ Try/crash harder.

Electrical tape+cushion

?

(switch slippers for Sidis natch)

I think SPD slippers are the Spandals for 2013.

Spippers?

Spidpers.

slipders

SPD-SLippers; for the stiffness you need with the sheepskin inners you want.

When the bars on my Bob are turned to the right, the front brake contacts the downtube before the bars hit the top tube. I should probably just wrap the whole frame in inner tubes.

Scratch that...Thought you were talking about padding the handlebars

Or tape up the handlebar.

It's taped with benotto, you can definitely still dent the tt with taped bars!

Simple

Because classic steel track frames are worth it, non?

Not when they cost about £40 and a roll of leccy tape cost £1

Let me know when they start making them for modern frames.

stick to black outers? im tempted to go yellow... (im recabling anyway)

grey cables?
