I'm not expecting a problem. It feels normal on the stand and around the block. The logical hypothesis is more bends should yield more friction. But remember:
SRAM brifters run shift housing under the tape, and I don't hear a ton of complaining Campy brifters run shift housing under the tape, and I don't hear a ton of complaining Shimano brifters more recently run housing under the tape and I don't hear a ton of complaining None of the above have a tighter radius than the loop back at the derailer, and everybody has that I'm not worried about it. I really like running barcons completely outside of the bar tape, because that facilitates a much easier cockpit swap, and also facilitates a much easier boxing task for shipping. Completely under the tape seems to make sense as well. I'll probably never wrap the shift housing just along the drops again.
