Ted,

Don't try to reason with these guys that wrap from the center out. They probably eat boiled eggs from the pointy end.

I'll repeat myself. After less than a year you short attention spanners need to increase your protein intake. Starting at bar end, wrap to the outside from each side up to the levers, because your hands roll out when you're in the drops and this keeps the tape tightening effect. At the levers either stop and secure, or cross over to reverse direction and keep going from front of bike to back and keep going as high as you wish to the center and secure. If you stop and restart under the hoods, provided you have them, then secure your starting end and again wrap from from the front to the back to wind up the tape tightness because your hands roll from the top down towards you. GET IT? Put your hands on the bar and you see what I refer to. Basic, simple, easy to master. Try to get it straight before you get Alzheimer's. And please quit hyperventilating about nameplates and images. They are what they were in the time made. Society changes. It's part of history. Live and muse about it and realize how far we can still.go from how far
we've come.
