I haven't tried duck tape but I have used gaffer's tape, it is used in the
photo industry to attach things like lights, grip gear, wires etc. to
walls, floors, etc. anything that could have the finish marred by regular
tape. When removed it leaves no residue and does not effect the painted
+1 on gaffer tape being a superior product for not leaving gooey residue.
But very elegant glued-on shrink-fit tubing can be a super elegant
solution. The famous Anton Tutter does wiring jobs for rando bikes, most
notably JPWeigle. You can seek out his shrink-fit solutions on flickr. I
Nice -- I found one that matches!
Thanks for the tip.

That sounds intriguing... I'd also abstain from flicker-ing while at work, but
luckily I'm on the other side of the pond; therefore, my work day is
theoretically over.
I'll have to check this out when I get home in a few minutes, but if you could
point me to direct links (or an intro) later

As bizarre chance would have it, I also have a roll of fluorescent pink
gaffer tape. If you find you only want a half-meter of the stuff to
experiment with, I could rip some off my roll and mail it to you.
Why do I have fluorescent pink gaffer tape? I've got about 70 different
colors of
That's pretty slick... but still, if the wiring is black, you can see the
black on top of the bright colored bike paint. I am leaning towards a tape
solution, as this has a better chance of completely hiding/camouflaging the
cable.

Absolutely do not use Duct (or Duck) tape on bikes unless you are miles
from anywhere and that's the only way out. It makes for a nasty clean up.
Still, I do have a length of it wrapped onto a small dowel...
But, YES on Gaffer's Tape. That is wonderful stuff.

would be for you to ship that very stylish mixte over to me in America for
a closer tape consultation. I will keep the bike for a short time, maybe
30 years or so, and then return it to you. :)

Thanks for pointing me to the Rescue Tape. I think clear option might be
the best bet for me, if the pink Gaffer isn't a good match for my frame. I
might just get it to have it around--looks super handy!

Yes, I would like to take you up on the sample tape--will send you an email
shortly.

Hopefully this won't get me banned from the list, but I've been using
self-fusing silicone tape to finish my gel tape bar wraps for a few
years now. Three strikes for me already for not using cotton tape,
twine and shellac...
It's available in colors, though I only do black bar wrap (strike

If you get banned for that, I quit! :-)
If there is one thing this group should be zealously opposed to, it is
zealotry. Besides, you've got several things going for you that trump any
orthodox interpretation of Rivish acceptability.

My first thought looking at the silicone rescue tape was Bar Tape! I got
halfway through comparing roll lengths to cotton tape, and then got distracted
by work. Pff.
On the duct-tape-to-bike subject, I got rescued the other day by a guy with a
tube and inflator kit duct taped to the seat post
