You guys are tough. I don't know I ever would have notice that. Still not even 100% sure what the issue is.
With that said, I'm a guy who spent last season with black electrical tape I did myself. Sinful as it was on Zipp carbon bars on a Merckx 525.
Had my guy re-do it with Lizzard Skin medium thick. Liking it, but if I had to do over I'd go with their thickest. After 20 years riding, I've learned I have big hands and am happiest with chunky vibration dampening tape that I can nicely hold loose tight.
