A couple weeks ago I rewrapped my handlebars with some Fi’zi:k [here on just Fizik] bar tape, and unfortunately it has been pretty disappointing. I’m used to a pretty cushy foam/cork combo tape from Profile Design, and this Fizik tape turned out to be really thin, offering very little comfort. I also moved my brake hoods forward a bit as an experiment, but the spot where my wrist/ulnar area rests on the handlebars had almost zero padding. It’s a shame, as the tape looks really great. I ended up ordering more of the Profile Design wrap from Amazon and rewrapped them last night. I also moved my brake hoods back up a little as the reach was just a little too far. Even without riding yet, the cushioning of the PD tape is just so nice. You may remember I previously had the same exact tape, but in orange, and currently have the orange on my commuter bike.
I highly recommend the Profile Design tape. It’s very affordable, and offers superb comfort.
