Dark, you could cover it in leather :-) I saw a synthetic fabric some time ago, that looks exactly like suede, but it is incredibly grippy and does not soak sweat ... has anyone else seen it? It was for tennis racquets. I do not remember what it was called. If you could sew that stuff onto the wheel, it might look mostly stock too.
