Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Computer on K-Wing bars??? How???

I test rode a bike with these bars today, and absolutely LOVE them. The flat sections on the top, and by the shifters were soo comfy. But, how can I put a computer on? No room next to the stem?

Try mounting the computer to the stem itself. I know Sigma Sport computers can be mounted this way as can the Mavic Wintech.

What are they? They are eye-candy, overpriced, bad-ass, and most of all, the most comfortable road bars I have ever ridden.

Maybe you could make a shim out of something to mount the mount kit to the flat sections...that is if they don't flare out....I really can't tell if they do from that pic.

Stem mounted computer (Flight Deck, Mavic Wintech) or something like the VDO Cytec series which don't use fixed mounting hardware.
