Was a dyed in the wool Cinelli cork user for 20 years, now prefer the rubbery cushioned feel, durability and performance of Fabric Knurl or Performance Grip-Tec2 - which I guess will go the way of the dodo soon after I use up these last 2 pkgs I have. These type of tapes also hold up well very to sweaty hands for the many indoor Zwift miles I do - cork and other type tend to be more absorbent and become caked with salt in short order which can corrode bars.
