Zombie self-bump...

So the Planet Bike Tachyon was a disaster. Within a month the awesome texturized rubber layer started to peel off within a month. (I can't find from my email history whether I got it from amazon or fleabay, if fleabay maybe it was a knockoff? It came in convincing PlanetBike-branded cardboard packaging)

I've been riding peeling bar tape for like a year now, and am ready to replace it finally.

I saw on somebody else's bike at work what I think must have been Fizik Terra Bondcush Tacky, and that looked like it would probably last forever, but it is spendy. That Zipp Service Course CX recommended above looks similarly rubbery, and is much cheaper.

Any thoughts?
