Part compatibility question
I want to switch out my bullhorn handlebars on my singlespeed for some Nashbar Moustache bars to see if I like them.
The stem I want to use has a 25.4 clamp, so there shouldn't be an issue in that respect.
I will also need to get different brake levers because I won't be using the bar-end brake levers currently on the bullhorns.
In the interests of keeping costs down I am thinking about the nashbar aero brake levers. However, I know that sometimes the brakes and levers aren't compatible.
The bike has Tektro 510A Dual Pivot Calipers on it.
Will the nashbar levers work with these brakes?
and while I'm at it, the nashbar moustache bar says it fits road levers, will the levers fit?
Thanks in advance.

The levers and the brakes are compatible. You may want to double check that the levers will clamp to the inside of those bars (measure the i.d and what the levers are rated for).
