Another place cloth tape rules is when setting up a "new" bike. Wrap with cloth and you can partially unwrap the tape and move the brake levers as many times as you need to get the bike dialed in.

I'm with you. I think I have 3 layers of Tressostar tape on my Sparrow this summer
And yeah, for a couple weeks or so one can still unwrap to the levers for adjustment, tho I usually set them as I always do from the start. I rarely have to mess with my position at this point in my life.
