Hi,

My brother just bought these: http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/productdetail.asp?productcatalogue=BLAWHBAP200 for his racer which currently has a straight bar with shimano sora shifters/brake lever units on(inergrated clamp). However.. the shifters/brake clamps don't fit over the new bars which are slightly wider diameter (26mm road) and I assume his straight bars are something like 24-25mm. As he doesn't want to buy new shifters/brake levers does anyone know where you can buy the time-trial style road bars in a non-road size (25mm?) diameter? I have looked without success...

Cheers for any info

MTB bars are 25.4mm stem clamp, but 22.2mm (I think) at the grips/lever clamping area. I doubt you'll find road bars that thin

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
