Worn heated grip

Been keeping an eye on the left heated grip as some how its wearing down. I dont hold the grip, more like rest my hand on it, just like the right side which has no wear on it
Anyways, its got to the point that there appears to be a wire just showing through. So Im thinking of using some squash raquet handle tape to wrap around it - non sticky if pos.
Any other suggestions??

Should be fine Pete, a good thought I reckon.

Although I play squash twice a week for 1.5 hours at a time and my raquet grips only last about 3 months at the most.

Don't know what else to use though,

Mick
