Single speed brake overload
Charge Plug end bar levers
I have a Charge Plug with a Slice bar ( Bullhorn ) Looking to add some TT levers to the bar ends. So I have two levers on the flat and another two on the ends. Overkill maybe, but I would be grateful if anyone ca explain how I can do it. Do the Plug's Promax 239A enable/allow a cable to continue to the end bars ? http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/3724/pluglevers.jpg Many thanks in advance... |
yes, its one continuous cable from the cross top to the TT lever. The housing goes into a stop on the cross top lever while the cable continues through it.

Its a piece most LBS have.
I installed one for my neighbor. On his CX. And it was pretty simple. But time is the essence. |

I installed one for my neighbor. On his CX. And it was pretty simple. But time is the essence. ----------------- The only pieces you need are just electrical tape, longer brake housings and cables, plus a couple of ferrules. Assuming all the levers are on your bar...here are the steps: 1. Feed your cable + housing through the hole on your bar end/tt lever 2. Measure how much housing you need from your tt lever to the recessed hole in your cross lever 3. Cut your housing(not cable, just housing) with a brake cable cutter, make sure that the length is correct and nothing too taut, nothing too loose 4. Feed your cable through the housing and through the lever 5. Measure how much housing you need from the barrel adjuster of the cross lever to the barrel adjuster of your brake extension arm. Again, nothing too tight, nothing too loose. Cap either ends of the housing end with ferrules. 6. Feed your cable through last housing and hook it up to your brake so everything is tight together. 7. Use electrical tape to wrap up housing along the bend of your bar, so that they are tightly in place. 8. Repeat the steps for your back brake. |
Thank you for taking the time to explain.
I appreciate it. Just one question, What type of TT lever do I need. Most seem to run inside the bar. What is a good brand that runs on the outside? |
I think they all run on the inside since it's more secure. Cane Creek makes a good pair. (PM me. I have a pair I don't use anymore and could send some pics your way. One side has a few scratches though)

Thanks for replying - Does that mean I have to remove the Charge tape ?
Couldn't I add some BMX, Dia-Compe Tech 99 Dirty Harry Brake Levers and run them on the outside of the bar ? |
