I'm currently awaiting on the red bar tape I ordered to come in. I'll need to call them and find out why it's taking so long. I ordered a roll of Zipp tape (not sure what type) that is more of a rubbery tape than a cork tape. It's washable and cushions better than standard cork tape. At $25.00 a roll, it's a bit more expensive than cork tape but according the the shop, it will last three times longer. I've only had my bike two weeks and I'm already noticing that there is some dirtying of the tape at the base of the hoods.
