I've done this a few times... The short answer is, no there is no easy way! You need a bit of patience and go very slowly, bending the tape as you go.

I recently re-did mine, and found that buying pre-curved tape (you can get it on eBay) made the job really simple... Instead of 30mins, it was 10 to do the whole bike.
