That is an interesting observation. Thanks. One thing I have noticed from the bike pictures that included bar end shifters is there seems to be more cable looped in front of the bars. If I decide to add a front rack and bag later, would that extra cable have any interference from that? Just wondering if there are any gotchas to be aware of. Thanks.
