So it looks like there are various ways to address the problem -- if indeed it is a problem (I suspect I tend to leave my cable loops a bit long).

Thanks - I see one on eBay. $49.50********** Wow. Velobase says that's a copy of a TA item #34, which I did NOT find.

... and there it is. And you know that looks like a little square of aluminum that could be wrapped around a dowel, one might be able to replicate if desired (except the logo)

Sounds like an option, or at least for those with knot-tying skills (thus I do not finish off bar tape with twine).

Now THOSE I seem to recall from BITD. Presuming you can find one, and presuming your stem has an exposed and not recessed quill bolt.

Cool, and I see plenty of color choices, even Celeste. Now to decide if I match the paint color, or the color of contrasting cables and accessories.
And one place in UK has them for a few dollars, but $30.99 in shipping?
