I just realized I ordered the Cinelli cork tape but not the "gel cork" tape. The guy in the video said that you get a good road feel from the thinner cork tape but that the gel cork absorbs more of the road vibration. Is the plain cork tape comparable to Deda's synthetic bar tape?

I was actually thinking of using the ugly green cloth tape that looked totally different online! as an absorbent underlayer over which to wrap with the Cinelli cork tape? Would that take some of the bite out of the road? I just got that idea cos I believe I've heard ppl say they use hockey tape the same way.
