I tend to run the bar end cables under the tape until the brake lever mounting band ,
where you have to go around the brake body under the hood, etc.
then the bar end shifter housing exits, from under the tape
I have that on the inside of a drop bar , so Mustache Bar, It would be the bottom side ..
smooth curves is what you want..
