Still up in the air about brakes. I'm starting to lean towards TT levers. I just wish I knew wether I would be riding more on the ends or the tops. Since I'm ususlly inn the drops, I'm guessing now it may well be the ends I ride more, but I guess I just won't know until I've ridden the bullhorns a bit.

I know I'll need a new stem to use 26mm bars, but I guess I'll just have to to feel it and guess about wether I want a different length. Common sense tells me a shorter stem goes generally with TT bars, but maybe I'm way off base on that hypothesis.
My Nitto bullhorns I got from businesscycles are very stiff. If I neet to run a brake I just use a Salsa cross lever and a Sun Tour Cyclone side pull brake. You will need a 26mm stem. pic: http://www.businesscycles.com/graphics/nittobull19.jpg
