Kim: You are good on the drops.
However, as you round the bend and go around the brake levers on your road
bike then you reverse and come over the top to the back from the front and
keep winding.
If you sit on your bike and put your hands in the drops, your palms slide to
the outside, so it's wrapped that way to keep the tension snug as it were.
When you are on top of the bar, your hands twist toward you so you wrap from
front to back to maintain the tension by direction of wrap.
This is if you wrap from bottom to top.
If you wrap the other way you're reversing the wrap direction but still
doing the same circular wrap around the bar.
That doesn't change as your hand twist is constant and wrapping this way
helps keep the tape snug.
