Good questions. I should have noted that I’m talking about standard drop bars and brake levers with hoods. The tape ends at the brake lever and runs up the side of the body. I orient the wrap direction so that the two halves end on each side of the lever body. If I want to ensure no gaps, I use a short piece of tape run at a bit of an angle from one side of the lever body to the other. The brake hood covers all the ends and holds them in place. I have also removed the brake lever body, leaving the clamp band in place, taped the bar, then installed the brake lever on top of the tape. It only works with thin tape, and some levers make that easier than others. If you don’t have hoods on the brake levers, you could try that.
