They work!The roads finally thawed enough to get out and try the new conversion.I really liked the feel of the new bars.Got in eight miles this morning and no complaints.

Bikes: Tallboy, Domane, old 90s MTB beater/grocery-getter, and a couple of franken-gravel experiments based on the Sirrus x 5.0.
I like the idea of using road brifters mounted sideways. Seems a lot cleaner than trying to make MTB controls work with a road drivetrain

Also,do you have plugs in the ends of the bars? You should. i have a crescent scar on my forehead from an unplugged bar.

Bar end plugs are coming before a real test ride, and the hoses and cable will probably be shortened as well. Still dialing in the cockpit.
