    My Altura gloves don't have any grippy stuff on the palm (while this other pair does).

    Can I buy grippy stickers to put on my brake levers, especially on my road bike, to provide a tactile surface on the levers?
    On my mtn bike I've taped some rubber strips to the levers (left over from a clip-on mudguard set). It helps.

    I think Lizard Skins do some sort of rubber tubing that you can slide on over the actual brake lever. They have them on chainreaction, but I'm pretty sure it's Lizard Skins that do them.

    EDIT: There's a page on the Lizard Skins site here.

    You could get a pair of these.

    Cheap option - cut some pieces off an old inner tube and stick them on somehow.

    I could stick the tube to itself with puncture repair adhesive. It should undergo vulcanization which should make it stick to itself quite well.
