Yep, notched and everything! I could Drexel it out a little, but it would kill the integrity of e bars, I'd probably pull the right side clean off!

Make sure your TbW sensor isn't too long for the bars!!!!! Sure messed me over, now I had to order new bars, and bike sits torn apart.

Where the bars advertised as being TBW? Bars that are TBW should say so. I wouldn't think you would want an indent at all for internal wiring.

Yeah, they're for internal wiring....... In the indents, Are the internal wiring holes, they're notched for the TBW sensor, unfortunately...... They're just a CHEAP HUNK OF ****! It's an off brand of bars, seller is gonna refund though, he admits there's obviously a defect. Left side wiring literally pushed through, didn't even have to pull at all with my guide wire..... I was off to a great start..... And then.......!
