I was just wondering because all the tri bikes I've ever seen have the aerobars taped with bar tape but not as often on the clip-ons. I spend alot of time with my hands on the aerobars and I have to wear gloves everytime because my hands get sweaty. Do most people tape their own aerobars?

I did.  I think most people do too.  It's easy and solves the sweat problem.

Just the ends, I sweat like a pig and they get slippery otherwise.

Yup, that's what I've always done.

Thanks for your replies. Just to be clear, I'm talking about the clip-ons on my road bike, since I don't have a tri bike.

Yep.  Especially since I don't wear my bike gloves during sprint races and my wet/sweaty hands slip on the aerobars a lot.
