I wanna replace my flip and chops with these. I was wondering if any of you have tried these. I am curious where the easiest place to mount a brake lever would be. Do these accept tt levers? Also is it same to assume that my quill stem will be the right clamp size. These are a 26.0 size.

I have them and love them. Yes, one can fit TT lever brakes on them. I'm considering doing it.

i have them and I LOVE them.. and I have the tektro rx 4.1 bar end brake that fits.. it currently is not mounted tho, due to lack of a cable cutter

there are about five threads on this set of bars
I run them, I love them, I mount my cross lever at the edge of the raised clamp area

Best bars ever! (Seriously)

My current setup has a cross lever right next to the clamp. However, a silver nashbar tt lever can look pretty sexy. I wanted something with a little longer reach since my flip and chops are so short I am basically riding risers with little nubs at the end.

Linkity Link.

I have them and I HATE them. Well, that's not true. I had them on my commuter for awhile but I found the "drop" to be uncomfortable. There basically isn't much of a flat portion to the bar so you'll end up holding onto the bends which hurt your hands after awhile (or you can hold onto the flat part right at the stem, but I don't like that either).

Also if you wrap the bars with non-sticky wrap (like Cinelli cork) and you ride with your hands on the bends, the wrap will start to slip off. It's really really annoying.

I have since put aero bars on them and reserve them for TTs and pursuits at the track. I have a set of bullhorns that are completely flat and I find them much more comfortable for commuting.

I've used these, which are a cheap ripoff of the 021s with a little less drop and I found them really comfortable. I thought the shoulders were very comfortable for cruising and especially for seated climbing. Plus, the long extensions let you get pretty laid out and aero.

Oh, and cork won't slip if you wrap it properly.

Yeah, I liked them at first but more and more I am finding these bars to be too flexy for my hulking physique.

Uh, yes it will.

ive been riding them for about a week and a half. i really like them. my wrist has been messed up since i got hit by a car so i havent really put too much stress on them. ive mostly been riding by the stem. riding in the drops a bit has been nice though. it took about two days to totally get used to them over my flip and chops

You must have super huge hands if you don't have 4 different super roomy hand positions on these. I have been using non sticky tape for the last 6 times I've wrapped bars and never had any tape slip.

For about the first two years I was riding I had someone who reportedly was an excellent bar wrapper do it for me for fear or screwing it up myself. Everyone made it seem incredibly hard. One day I just took a shot at wrapping and didn't have any problems. It was non sticky cork tape, and after about 10 careful minutes, it was flawlessly wrapped and I've never had any slip since. I think people are just afraid to pull too tight when wrapping, and therefore screw up countless rolls of tape.

It's not that I have wide hands, it's just that I don't like holding the bars so close to the stem. It feels unnatural to me. However the spot where I do want to put my hands is right on the bend of the drop. This results in an uncomfortable hand position, and after a few days I'll have pushed down the wrap since I'm putting downward pressure right at the bend.

Obviously my experience is the exception - everyone else in this thread loves them. I still use mine for my aero bars and they are perfect for that. I just find them terrible for everyday use due to my own bio-mechanics.

i like them ok when i'm in the mood. just like track drops, there is a time and a place when any bar can be feel good or totally wrong. at least these offer more than one position. good for cruising in the perp. drop area, fun for skidding on the horns.
personally, i find the handling while on the horns a bit too "swingy"/"boom and jib like a sailboat/slow turn-in for alot of my riding, but then again i it like a little bit fast, twitchy and responsive
the horns let you get waaay far over your wheel for skids, not that i think this actually helps your skids or handling while in a skid.

cant be a real tarck bike wiffout drops...

i think I know what you mean, but what about pursuit bikes with aero bars that resemble and essentially are more elaborate bullhorns?

they are so last season

I have these on my FG getting built. The bike store guy insists I cant get bar-end TT brake levers for them so they are putting on cross levers for now. I don't mind I guess but I am pretty sure he's wrong.

cane creek brake levers fit

these

and just how are you going to run the cables?

Drill the bullhorns so u can route the cable insidethe tube.

I like them a lot. Just recently i put them on my road bike and mounted 105 shifters, it works really well.

Yeah he is totally wrong.
