This is the fourth time I've put handlebar tape on a road bike. You would think it would get easier each time, but it doesn't for me - yet. I get tensed up and worried that I'm going to mess things up. Fortunately, I use a handlebar tape that is quite easy to reposition if you mis-position it.
It's a gel tape and very thick. It's not an adhesive on the back, just a sticky surface that will hold its position a bit once you've positioned it. Then it is easy to lift off and reposition if need be.
The picture on the left is the bare handlebar with the brake lever hood rolled back, ready for taping. The picture on the right is the finished product, all went well.
Thank you, Sheldon Brown.
Still plodding on... :-)
