Handlebar tape

The handlebars are retaped. For now. I have about zero confidence that they'll stay that way for long. Why do they always make those rolls so short? And why can't you buy one continuous double-length roll like you used to be able to? I used to buy two, waste some, but always had enough to do a very good tape job. With these short rolls, that's no longer possible, and finding the optimum wrap to both cover everything and have enough to reach the end is a lot tougher than it needs to be.
