I need to re-tape and was wondering what people recommend. Synthetic? Cork? What's best for long distances without gloves?

Thanks in advance!

I like the choices from Profile Design.  Synthetic.  But it's probably just what appeals to you...

I'm a big fan of Fizik Microtex Handlebar Tape. It's thin and light, but provides excellent grip even when soaking wet.

I usually just use whatever I have left over from my road bars.  I really don't care what tape is on my aerobars as it is not a comfort or handling issue for me.

I prefer Deda bar tape as it's very easy to work with and comes in pretty much every color imaginable to perfectly match the bikes... anything else would be unthinkable for the wife...

I replaced the cheap tape on my aeros with Forza Carbon handlebar tape.  Much better.

fizik. i use it on all my bikes and i never wear gloves.  it has great grip and works well even when wet.  also the white tape stays clean and if it does get dirty it wipes right off.

Everything I've ever used has been sufficient.

That said, the new Specialized bar tape (dual color) is the hottness.
