At the stem is 3 extra turns — all rather small radius. I think that is 1, 2, 3, times the friction. Plus, if you change your mind and pick up some proper housing for your Granson’s Trek, that is more trouble rewrapping the bars. Both my bar end bikes have nice graceful curves back to the guides without crossing.
