Where do you purchase the Carbon Fiber tubing to slip over existing grips to make the Carbon fiber Grips that i have seen on this forum??

That was covered in the article, along with the supplier for the expanding urethane foam.

In the meantime, Mike at Riley Rods has picked up the supplies and is offering them to rod builders in more economical quantities. His link is to the left in the sponsor column.

BTW, the article is in Rodmaker 10-6. Riley Rods has a slightly different way of doing it than the article but they both work fine.

I'll add that Mike and Vikki at Riley Rods are excellent to deal with. Mike even answered some of my questions the other day while he was driving home from work. Now that's customer service!!

Thanks, I will give them a call and find out more. How would I go about getting the Rodmaker issue that covered the Carbon grips?
