I like this tape too. I have it on my roadbike and it just doesn't seem to have any tendency to hold dirt. Only drawback (and this doesn't bother me much but it might bother others) is that even with the Fizik bar gel underneath, it's less cushy than the Bianchi cork tape that came on my Bianchi. In spite of this though, I'm seriously considering getting some celeste colored Fizik tape, because despite frequent washing I just can't seem to keep the cork tape clean.
