long handlebar tape?

[Steve Watkin]

Anyone know where I can get longer handlebar tape. The std. length in all
the packets I have previously purchased are not long enough to cover all the
bar.
I have wide 46cm drops and Marsas pads.

Are you stretching the tape enough? I quite often have to trim off some tape
(44cm bars).

Simonb makes a good point. Modern synthetic stuff can be stretched a
great deal.

Problem is that if I streach it lots it crushes the Marsas foam so it
becomes ineffictive!
