of friction to hold them in place. Any thin tape that's got some
texture to it ought to work. (cloth handlebar tape and rim tape were

Yeah, but that only helps if the OP is using the open ended variant.

goove in the grip for the shifter cable housing resists rotation.
I can feel a slight twisting every now and then, but it's all worked
out ok for me so f
