For cutting cables housing, I normally hacksaw then file. Or, I have one of these.
Circular Saw Blade Sharpener
Remove all the circular saw stuff, and one is left with a nice small grinder with a diamond blade. No tool rest, so maybe just put the diamond blade into a normal mini-grinder instead. Anyway, you can cut and polish cable housing with it quickly. Then use a paper clip or something to straighten out the housing liner if using lined housing.

The cheap generic Chinese foam tape may not last as long as the brand name wraps, but it also doesn't have sticky tape. Wrapped tightly, I can't see any evidence of it moving.

I have the right is right, and left is wrong down with the pedals, but I always get confused with which way to turn the bottom brackets. Usually not a big problem, but annoying.
As far as my pet peeve....
I HATE THE ROUGHNESS WITH CHEAP CONES.
And, I detest PITS.
