Our steel wheel gets pretty cold when it is cool and you're not wearing gloves at the helm.
At first we thought of buying a leather wrap kit but it would be more fun to just wrap it in 3/16" line. A quick calculation says that we'd need about 60' of line to cover our 30" diameter wheel, a lot cheaper than leather and more personal attention to boot.
Brion Toss covers how to tie a three-legged Turks Head to cover the gaps where the spoke interrupts the hitches but other than that I haven't found much discussion anywhere about what to do or not do or if there are any tricks that make the job easier or make it come out better.
Maybe I'm just Googling the wrong words ?
