And for ****s sake, where on earth can I find Deda bar tape locally (in stock, not order I can do that myself) ? Free beer to anyone who knows.
i was just there after work (urbane) must have just missed you. as for you levers' compatibility with bullhorns, i would hunt around for the levers that plug into the end of the bar (actually urbane has them i was asking about them for my new bars) as your drop bar levers may hit the bar before they engage the brake. i've tried setting them up this way and it was alright, but you need to set them really tight if you want sufficent braking force and therefore there is very little modulation. i'd say spend little cash and do it right, you need them brakes!
