Newbaum, I find much to my surprise that cotton tape feel very comfortable because I didn't squeeze the bar that hard to hold on to it while descending, but on my other bike with full cork grip, I squeeze harder as to get a frimer grip due to the soft nature of the cork, much like those touring tyres that felt spongy even when you pump them up to the max pressure.
