bar tape suggestions
      06/16/04 04:56 PM (63.198.100.125)

while waiting for my frame i have ordered most of my components. i'm getting the fsa k-wing carbon handle bar. there are lots of different bar tapes out there with foam or gel. i'm wondering whether if i really need one since the bar is already carbon which should absorb some road chatter. i'm leaning towards getting a regular cork bar tape. i like the feel of cork and i don't want the bar to feel too thick or mushy--although it would be nice if the tape dampens the vibration. any experience with different tapes mentioned above? also note that the bar has a flat top. will the top be covered with tape? any suggestions. thx.
