1) start at the bottom
2) the tape will come with some short bits to use near the brakes - apply these first
3) wrap the tape from the inside of the bars to the outside (so the natural rotation of your hands on the bars tightens the tape, instead of unravelling it)
4) stretch the tape a bit as you wrap, but not too much
5) have about 1/3 of the tape overlap itself as you go
6) try to keep it all nice and even, especially on the bendy bits of the bars.
easy!
