cover your fucking lever clamps with those bits of tape that come in the box with rolls of bartape. Please!
No no no!
Those are for amateurs only and relying on them to cover the clamps is akin to flipping the bike onto the saddle and bars to perform mechanical work.

Ok, wrap bartape properly, just, for the the love of little baby jesus, make sure no bar or lever clamp is showing.
One further up thread that "The Boss" has pulled up on bar/lever angle that made one of my eyes twitch (looking at the colour of the bike, it may be ******'s rat build monster gravel rusty blue contraption). -
Hard disagree! Doing a figure 8 with 3 mm thick bar tape will look like shit. Up, over and around technique (which requires that little bit of tape) >>>>>>>>>>>
Personal pet peeves are stems which aren't parallel to the top tube (when using drop bars, with flats it's ~ fine), might start building a folder as well...

And while we're getting everyone to BDHU, cover your fucking lever clamps with those bits of tape that come in the box with rolls of bartape. Please!
