No, I meant did you route, then anchor the cables to the handlebars with electrical tape before you wrapped the handlebar tape? I think you are supposed to route your cable along the bars and secure them with electrical tape before you put the wrap on. At least that is what I do. Tape the cable close to where it connects with the shifter. Then work going away along the bars routing your cable and taping it every 3-4 inches until you get to where it will exit from the handlebar tape. Secure it again there, then wrap it. If you wrapped it with the cables loose, they might be sliding slightly under the bar tape when you try to shift. If there is friction between the cable and housing this could happen. Just a guess.
