i prefer thicker tape like specialized roubiax, but many seem to love the fizik microtex. i know is all preferance, but im curious and am thinking about giving it a try.
has anyone that normally prefers thick tape switched over to fizik roubiax?
with cables under the tape, would thick tape be too thick, or thin tape have annoying bulging?

I'm curious about this myself. I've got some Microtex sitting in my closet waiting for this relentless Profile tape to wear out but it doesn't seem to be ready yet. I'm a huge thick tape fan (and I ride with gloves) but I wanted to give the Fizik a try. The way things are going with this Profile tape I may never get the chance.

the trick with tape & cables is to have it run exactly where your fingers meet your palm. the bulge sits quite nicely there and isnt that noticeable when riding.
and I want to see more of that bike from the original post. looks hot. a Daccordi with 3T & Campagnolo...nice.
