And start at the bottom at an angle with "overlap" and when you're done cut it with a razor blade, gives you a tapered start and avoids a bunched up thick end at the shifter, which is not only unsightly but makes a lump you will feel because you will have your hand on it often. On 05/03/2017

Tuck the end of the tape in between the bar and the cable exiting the bar-end pod. Then wrap around the outside of the cable* and it will hold the end in place. No tape required. *obviously, you must choose whether to wrap the shift cable, and how far. This has been discussed in other threads.
