Tape recommendations

[Doyleyburger]

Can anyone recommend a nice comfy tape. Picking up my new felt on Friday and it's all black with white tape so I want to replace the white with black.
Cheers

Any colour other than black

Fizik performance or lizardskins. If it must be black, specialized phat is popular

Specialized Roubaix tape is the absolute best tape. I've tried a lot. The Cinelli cork and Deda tape were the worst.

+1 for the roubaix tape I have it on my bike and it's really comfy!

Lizard skin. You won't look back.

I now have both road going bikes equipped with this and when it does need replacing, of which there are no signs of wear after a few thousand miles, it will be lizard skin again.

Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

Spesh Roubaix tape here too...

Lizard skin dsp, comfy and grippy, even when wet

I do like the phat , certainly helps cushion the buzz on my trapped nerve.

Thanks guys. The defy will be sold as I have discovered its two sizes too big for me, which is why I keep getting a stiff neck. (Bought on eBay without trying one for size)
Anyway I have gone for the Felt Z85 in black with 105 all round. I went to pick it up yesterday in a 56 but I seemed a little stretched on it so they have ordered me a 54 which I will pick up midweek. Can't wait !!
Sorry @vickster but yes it has to be black or possibly red as the bike is black and red. The white tape stand out like a sore thumb and has to be changed immediately

Been trying to find Felt ribbon gel cork tape which I saw on an AR model yesterday ( really nice gel which kind on looks like leather on first impressions......but can't find it anywhere

Went with a dark red Deda tape.
Suits the bike just right I think......
I put some thin foam sheeting underneath (the cheap stuff you put under laminate flooring) which has given it just right amount of cushioning without it looking too bulky

Yet the Felt decals and bottle cages are white!
