Shock horror! a.b is really a Lefty clique!
Andrew Wrote: Locally dirtworks can supply Salsa ones (www.dirtworks.com.au, find a retailer near you), but my recommendation is for you, me, everybody, to get on over to www.benscycle.com and buy lots of parts that you can't get here from Jim (ebay @ benscycle dot com). He's a great guy to deal with, has access to the QBP catalogue, plus also sells lots of other neat kit on ebay under the seller bensbikes. Search the 'super catalogue' for levers, specifically tektro for cheaper, cane creek/salsa/paul for more bling. Ta muchly for the headsup. Hmmm, blingbling... Andrew Wrote: P'raps you should buy a Malvern Star, paint it olive drab, make the star red and continue your velorution. LOL! Nah, the levers are for the road bike. Trying out a 'interesting' configuration of bullhorn bars, bar end levers & possibly cyclocross brakes. -- cfsmtb |

Just remember that Tektro manufacture for Cane Creek, so don't waste your pennies on CC levers. LOL! Nah, the levers are for the road bike. Trying out a 'interesting' configuration of bullhorn bars, bar end levers & possibly cyclocross brakes. That's not that unusual, I currently have chopped/flipped bullhorns, 1 non aero lever which has recently been replaced with an aero, but due to the curve in the horns you can't route the cable along the bar as the bend is too tight and the cable doesn't retract properly. So check your brake function before you get your bars all taped up. I also can't use the 'cross lever inline as the current brake is a centrepull with a cable hanger on the headset, again too tight a bend. I'll be going back to the non aero lever, or perhaps butcher the bar end and whack on a TT lever which will route along the bars nicely, then when my new drops arrive I'll throw the aero/'cross combo on to be used with a sidepull brake. |

So check your brake function before you get your bars all taped up. Ta muchly, again. I originally considered a cheapie option ie: flipped n' chopped but realised there wasn't enought straight tube to allow bar end levers to be slotted in. Hence, just purchased Profile Airwing 42cm bullhorns. The current brakes are Shimano 600, I've run these previously with a old pair of integrated v-brakes (arrrgg you cry, that's sick!!!) But Tektro's sound just the ticket. Previously had Salsa motopace bell lap 44cm bars with Kelly Take Off adapters. Lovely, but I just can't make friends with drops. I'm short of height, legs barely reach the ground & have upper back probs. Anyway, lets see if this config is meant to be . -- cfsmtb |

Ha ha, not quite, I was actually being literal. However, if we were going by the political cliches, I would supposedly be one of the ones on a CM corking intersections by myself, obstructing oncoming traffic etc. etc. Then again, I'm a librarian! I knew a red haired librarian once, could swear like a beauty. Quite a few of the guys said they'd never heard such language from anyone, let along a nice looking gel. And yes, it was from riding a section of road. |
