Pullup and Palms

After attempting to increase my pullup max for a long time, I have made a "painfull" observation. Here is how it feels like.

I have wrapped a bicycle (rubber) tube around my pull up bar for grip. I noted that after sometime my palms hurt, because of the stretch/pull of the skin on my palm. Actually the grip is too good that my skin sticks to the bar (rubber covered). More than my back muscles failing, its my palm skin thats failing.

I dont know how the pullup bars are for others. Can everyone share your experinces ?

Any tips on getting rid of this obstacle will be really helpful.
