Thanks for that tip. Sounds like a good idea -- I'll probably do the same. I will also be adding one of those "Italian Road Bike Mirrors" from ebay, so that is in part why I needed to re-wrap my bars anyway. But I wanted to try double wrapping. I plan to remove the old wrap, wrap it again just a little more spaced out, and will leave an inch or so at the ends, like you suggest, for the new wrap.
