cloth bar tape irks me unless i'm wearing padded gloves. then i like it.

some of the best feeling bar tape is that synthetic cork stuff with gel on the back. i have some felt bar tape that i love. fizik is AWESOME but can be a little hard on smaller diameter bars. i have it on my ritchey biomax and like it but to be fair i'm in the hoods most of the time. and it's expensive.

cinelli cork is moderately better than generic cork but i honestly don't think there's a big difference. i'm about to put some profile tape on the kilo.
