I can keep tightening them, but I really do worry about cracking plastic soon....
humh, so the modern ones are plastic, time to ebay on old rsx 7 spd?
I have seen threads strip out, but have never seen the plastic crack from over-tightening.
BTW, most mustache bar setups I've seen have used bar-cons and traditional brake levers.
