Specialized Bar Phat or Super Bar Phat! This is good tape with a light adhesive backing and the gel rocks. I replaced the stock white bar tape on my Tarmac with Bar Phat when the bike shop was building my bike and I like it a lot. It's hard to describe but the gel gives the bar a very comfortable feel. It isn't squishy, just compliant enough to be comfortable and absorb vibration. I would assume that the gel would help prevent numbness and tingling but I don't know that for a fact.
