There is no standard sizing for all handlebars.


Try this.

You'll need to know the bar diameter of the b125's first.

Of which has to be either 22.2mm or 23.8m or you're SOL w/ that lever.

Use google for ****s sake.

I don't know the answer but I googled it and the bars are 25.4mm clamp diameter so I'm guessing that neither size of that lever will work.

Probably need something like this http://www.cycleclubsports.com/p-118...FaQ9QgodokMA1A

Guess where I found it. I will give you three guesses.

Now that seau grateau did your research for you and you (hopefully) figured out that the 23.8mm version will fit the bar you plan to purchase, here's a bit of advice for you if you don't mind?

Don't do it!

Yeah, the E-lever is very cool-looking & light. I fell for it myself and had to have one. But speaking from experience, I can tell you that it is quite uncomfortable to use due to its squared-off edges and worse is the fact that it is not very effective at all, it lacks pulling power.

You should give some consideration to any of the myriad of cross-top/interrupter levers available...

Nope! It was Google! Good try though!

No, people like you that are too damn lazy to Google themselves are as you describe.

Do you realize it would take less keystrokes to find out for yourself than ask a question that presents you as an idiot??
