Bullhorn diameter for bar-end shifter

Hi all,

I have a Nexus-8 hub, and I am planning on getting bullhorn handlebars with a JTek bar-end shifter to go in the end. The JTek site says that it has a "24mm & 22.2mm clamp-on design."

So I found a pair of bullhorns that look quite good, and they say they are "24mm bars for 25.4mm (1") brakes."

What exactly does that mean? Will they fit a 24mm clamp or not?

Also, slightly more off-topic, does anyone have good recommendations for picking out bullhorn handlebars? So few of the bike shops around here carry them that it's hard to get a good feel for what dimensions/styles are good, and I can't find any guides online.
