I quite like those cable's, thinking of doing that to my sscx. Rest of it is indeed a bit too much colours ;d.

ignore the rest though. i might put my rear brake back on.

IMHO that looks dire, the housing looks too long, front and rear, the brakes would 'feel' better if the housing was shorter and a smoother angle,

^^ Wine bottle corks for bar ends are a nice look with cloth tape

I like the round bits you get with champagne corks.

Harder to get in than normal wine corks, but I think the effect is nicer.

nitto barends also look great, but for bottom up wraps only

Looks sweet! How comfortable is just cotton tape?

fine with padded gloves, also fine if your saddle/bar drop is not mental

I don't like padded gloves personally but my saddle to bar drop isn't insane so maybe I'll give it a go next time I need to wrap my bars. Has anyone tried an inner tube or something underneath for a bit of extra padding?

inner tube is well heavy... you could use some cork tape lengthwise (I have tried this)

Or even some gel pads

I found short rides with cloth tape, a fair bit of drop and no gloves to be fine, never really did more than 15 miles at a time on it though.

^^i'm not much of a weight weenie! Any other downsides to inner tube? Cork tape sounds like a good idea too but doesn't it look a bit uneven in terms of width when wrapped?

your hands will stink and it looks awful

he will put it under cloth wrap for padding only.
