I don't know about Cane Creek, but Tektro has a set for 31.8mm.

Isn't Cane Creek essentially the same as Tektro?

Yes. I have the Cane Creek Crosstops. The Cane Creek logo is only on the left lever. The rightside one says Tektro.

That's fine. I can't stand it when I'm on a long ride and ive been drinking a lot of water/big breakfast and it's 103 out and ive got to take a wicked ****....can't find a place to poop. No toilet paper nothing....

Don't know what it is, but after a 50+ mile ride I always need have monster dumps. We all make mistakes... Mine is to go out way to far out with no TP.

I honestly carry a roll with me everywhere I go. On a long ride, I find it just as vital as tools and flat repair materials. Regardless of whether you bring them with you, you will likely make it home/to your destination... but who knows how happy you will be once you arrive.

Same exact thing happened to me I was riding my MTN bike with my brothers around Lake Thunderbird in Oklahoma and I went of the trail to piss and a whole group of 3 guys and 2 girls were all just in front of me laughing and talking and yelling **** at me. It wasn't unitl later that I realized the trail doubled back right at that spot so what I thought was wooded area was just a patch between the trails ha

You should have made a move. In my mind I'm already imagining her as my next ex-girlfriend.

I'm on a few sites and its the same 'ol keyboard warrior mentality with some. I've done it, too, but it gets old. Sometimes 'ya just gotta literally know who you're messin' with (ie. personal friends. recent acquaintances, friend or a friend, etc.) to get away with it, but a "strangers" or newbie's should be treated with more welcome to their honest inquiries. We're stronger when our numbers are stronger. This doesn't involve me, but as a spectator in this I say thanks for manning up, Scrodzilla, with your apology...that was class...not that I think you require any kind of approval from me the newbie or maybe anyone else....I'm just sayin'. @ss is @ss and class is class. Now back to our regularly scheduled fun.

See...that's the thing. When I saw them, I was like "oh...those bars" and was under the false impression that I didn't have my head planted firmly in my ass and that they were oval all the way up to where the stem clamps. In reality, I had foolishly confused them with the Syntace Stratos CX.

I've got a lot on my plate at the moment and have been overly snippy lately - not just here but in real life - and just need to chill the **** out and relax.

Yes, stiff frames cause wrist pain on long rides! Couldn't be poor fit or anything! /snark

Why would you want to put cross levers on that anyways? That bar is made for TT/Tri bikes, your not supposed to be riding on the flat parts of them. Put a damn TT lever on there, or get a real bullhorn.
