Coming to Grips

Inspired by a more specific post in the Hybrid forum.

What's your favorite grips or bar tape?

On my drop bar bikes I've tried a few bar tapes, all of the foam type, and so far they've all seemed about the same to me. The finish is different but that doesn't seem to matter much once you've got your weight on it, they've all been about the same thickness and durometer. I haven't tried leather or cotton.

On my MTB I was pleased as punch to discover a little while back, when I needed to replace the grips, that WTB still makes the same ones I had before. I love these things, they're so simple and not gummy or gimmicky.
