I know OP made up his mind already, but additional q... I just wrapped some Cinelli cork tape on a bike and if I got the adhesive on the cork instead of the bar, it seemed very easy to rip the tape (adhesive stuck to the tape and tears it) if I had to back it off to rewrap a portion. Is this normal or did I just get an old box that has aged/deteriorated a bit? While I use gloves, I like how well it aborbs water and feels the same regardless (caught in thunderstorm yesterday).

Love the Fizik dual stuff, looks good and tough as heck...
