So now I took the levers off after taping the clamps
and then screwing them secure in the right place (slight wiggle was possible later but not a lot) from the front
After some fun tape weaving (the underside was a right arse) I got to here
where I encountered
I just stuck it out of one of the joins in the weave and hope it would be ok. It actually was when I got the hoods back on, the cable pulled on the tape making a bit of a hole but it was all covered by the lever. The clamp was a bit more tricky, this messed the weave right up
A snip about 3/4 across the the tape allowed a detour, though it meant you couldn't put any strain on the tape. A careful hand are needed to restart the weave.
The back is a little ruffled but ok.
Most importantly I DIDN'T BREAK THE WEAVE!!!
So keep going, tuck in the end and we have
I haven't done the other side yet as it was late and took fucking ages. The quality of the wrap is ok, probably could have been better if I didn't do it far too late in the evening and took the bars off to get better access to the bottom of the bar which was a right arse.
