What bar tape do you use? What bar tapes have you used?
I have to replace three bikes with bar tape and am open to new types, but leaning towards getting Lizardsskins DSP as it was really comfortable and lasted a bit longer than other types I have tried.

Cheap aliexpress stuff that crumbles after a few rain rides

I used to use Bontrager gel cork tape because I liked the cushy feel. Then someone got me to try some Supacaz because the color was cool ( I know). Found out I love the stickier feel of that tape and it’s all I run now on all three bikes.

I used multiple types of tapes, longest lasting and most comfortable was some long tape from SQlabs.
Right now I am looking at Grepp cloth tapes, they are bit more pricey but should last pretty much forever, you just have to wash them sometimes.

Higher end Fizik tape works well for me on gravel and road (I think Terra and Vento lines)
