The "knot" around the hoods itself should be sufficient to cover all gaps, though. _________________ Cervelo R5 VWD 5637g/12.43lb Pronghorn XC SW Race 8284g/18.26lb

It should mean you don't have to use the 'cheat tape', yes - but sometimes you still need to depending on the levers and the bar shape, just to make sure everything is totally covered.
