I start on the left side, then when I reach the stem, I wrap around that, down the steer tube and continue taping along the top tube to protect it when locking up. I leave the right side of the bars un-wrapped (for street cred)

Hey all-
Okay, I read the taping bullhorns thread and posted there but I'll post again here in hopes someone will see it sooner =) Do you start either on the left or right side and go all the way across, or start in the middle (near the post) and work outwards on each side?

anyway, the simple answer is...either.
it seems most guys start at the barends & work inwards to the stem, then use tape to finish it off. personally, i use the method that i learned from carleton (which was pointed out to you previously) - start by the stem & work out...

Downside is that things are unbalanced for no handed track stands. But I don't do those.
