Preventing my shifters from hitting my toptube

goodluck Phil danger posted a topic in Technical Q&A

Hi Hubbers So I just got my new carbon 29er (first 29er, first carbon - yes I am very happy) BMC Te02... But now all of a sudden I am terrified that when I crash (this is certain, it happens regularly), my handlebar will swing past 90 degrees and my shifters/brake levers will damage my toptube. Could any of the old hands please give me some advice on how to prevent this? The options I have thus far is: 1. http://www.acros.de/PRODUCTS/HEADSET/BLOCKLOCK:::3_91_145.html 2. Helicopter tape; 3. Loosening my shifters and brakes (tilting them upwards is too uncomfortable); or 4. Not crashing, at all, ever. Any thoughts?
