So when I mount these bars on The Ritchey, I want the tape to stop basically right at the top of the bar and not cover the “aero” portion of the bar. If I do that though, what do I do with the cables? How do I secure them to the bars, the tape won’t be there to secure them.

I hope I never have to drive one of those again.
Fun fact, when we moved from Charlotte back to VA, I had rented the largest one you can rent. I got to skirts of the Hampton Roads area right at rush hour. GPS started having a stroke and the next thing I know I’m taking an exit with no room. Drive side wheels went off the road and I felt the whole truck lean to the left. I was sure I was going to tip over.

My next and last move will likely be into a pine box.
In fact, that almost happened today. We pulled into a parking lot, and my wife got out of the Jeep without putting it in park as I stood between it and the truck.

Also I like to have brake housing in front of shift housing.
And yes I know my brake housing is too long But it looks better at that length from the side
Also, the new used rear mavic wheel, when off the bike spins inhibited. So if I hold the wheel in my hands it spins really well. When on the bike it doesn’t spin very long. It’s not brake rub. Thoughts?
Cup and cone hubs are most susceptible for sure, most Mavics I've seen are cartridge bearing but they do have a preload adjustment.

That doesn’t sound like an accident. You might want to sleep with one eye open.

Definitely happens on threaded axle cup and cone setups. Theoretically shouldn't happen on cartridge bearing stuff, which I think those Mavics are, but not sure. I haven't really fooled around with that many Mavic hubs.

Wish I could find Enve SES AR Road bars locally. Thinking I might like them.

Before dinner, my 96-year-old grandmother fell in the bathroom. Managed to not break anything, but had a cut on her chin and a banged knee. Crisis averted. We thought. During dinner she started shaking and lost her color, and couldn't get up from the chair even with considerable help. Ambulance came and she's back at the hospital. No news.
Last summer when I visited my uncle died. I'm getting a complex about coming back. And making dark jokes like that because I'm wound up into anxious knots.
