Longer bar tape

Hi,
Do any bar tapes come in longer lengths? I'm using some additional padding
under the bar tape and it tends to come up short. I've used several brands,
primarily Cinelli, and have made it work by letting it be a little short
near the stem but was curious whether any brands came in longer lengths or
whether any brands come in longer strips.
Thanks!

Profile animal picture rescue league wilderness something or other tape
came in really, really long lengths. I know several people who use it
to wrap Scott Drop In bars. One roll for the entire side including the
drop in part. Its really long tape. Unfortunately, that is its only
attribute. That and being really cheap on closeout from Nashbar
several years ago. Its really thin and gives about zero padding. Its
a tiny bit more padding than Benotto tape.

You might consider using four rolls. I customarily cut my tape into two
pieces and wrap from the brake in both directions, thus achieving
correct orientation for both the tops and bottoms.

Hi, Profile is longer than the Ciclolinea, I used to use.

By the way, I asked this same question, a couple of years ago. A
number of people recommended the Profile. I keep a spare box or two on
the shelf, buying from Nashbar, when on sale.

Life is Good!
