Subject: Aerobar External Brake Cable Routing
I bought a  used bike a few months ago and decided to retape the bars this weekend. My bullhorns have external brake cable routing and with the way it was set up before, the cables run along the outside of the bullhorns, along the outer edge. Is this standard? I was thinking about running the cables along the bottom of the bullhorns. The cable were taped down with electrical tape then the bar tape was run over the top. I just wanted to make sure this was the best way to do it before doing it wrong.

I think mine run along the bottom but don't worry about "right", just go with whatever feels most comfortable.
