Hi Roberta, I have used this method (housing between grip and bar) twice before and it worked just fine. I'm not sure I have photos though, I don't generally document that stuff. I've not experienced the trouble with ESI grips that folks talk about, plenty of rubbing alcohol is all you need for

Thank you both. The wire inside its housing would go between the grip and the bar. I’m leaning toward doing this with the tan grip (closely matches the head tube color) unless I hear “don’t do it.” I getcha about having a channel. The mechanic from Keystone Bikes would do this, not me.

I am a fan of grips like this now vs the hand made tape options. Now issues with putting the wiring underneath if they claim they can do it. If I was doing it myself (because those foam grips can be a pain to install) I would do it like you suggestedhave the wiring outside and then do a
