Best Bar Tape With Campy Brifters
Good afternoon everyone,
I just tried to wrap my Cinelli bars, on my new bike build up, (with Centaur brifters) with Velox tape after I secured the cables to the bars with a couple loops of electrical tape at the bends.
It turned out really bad (ugly).
I have wrapped many sets of bars but this is my first time wrapping
bars with two cables being wrapped along with the bars. (brifters)
Whats you favorite tape for bars with a cable in the front and the back of the back
(two groove bars)?

Can't help with two groove bars, but my bars have no grooves at all and I wrap with novara gel tape from REI (love the stuff). Can't even tell the cables are there if you do it right. I just keep them together and run them in the front, more towards the underneath side right next to each other and use plenty of electrical tape along the length of the cables to hold them tight against the bar.

If you are trying to avoid the bulges from the cable, I would just use the gel tapes... There isn't that much of a difference in the majority of them.
