I got my first barcons from a recent parts bike purchase. I never was too interested in them as the cable routing looked busy. I had the bars wrapped already with cloth tape and wasn’t sure if I would even like or keep the barcons. So first I taped them in place with electrical tape over the cloth tape to try out. Later, being lazy, I wrapped them in twine just up to the first bend and getting the right angle out front to have them under a Cannondale handlebar bag. I decided to leave it like this for now. The twine wrap on the drops isn’t really uncomfortable on the little time I am down on them. i might just leave things like this.
