Flatbar shifters

Received the shifters and brakes.

Decided to put the parts from my bike over onto this.

She is finally done.Took her for a short ride now and it's a very comfortable ride.

I see you have changed the crank and removed the DA one. Is that a 105 crank on now?

I was going to put the DA bits on this and then get Ultegra DI2 for my LOOK.I decided to keep the parts a little longer and i will sell them when new Di2 is released.

It's all 105 except for the Tiagra shifters.Must say that the shifting on the 105 is very good.

Looking really cool man!

 

I have a 'BMX' type brake lever on my fixie for the front (I know I know that's not cool :whistling: ) but the feel is wierd with the road caliper .... like it has a 'long' pull? Would be interested how those levers feel with the road calipers ....

I had a look at a few forums and found many folks were having the same issues as yours.I have had no braking issues,in fact i am actually surprised at how well it stops.These are also adjustable for reach and pull.They are way better than the BMX type levers.

This is great information. I was thinking about doing a flatbar conversion as I never ride in the drops and I had found a spare mtb carbon flatbar during my move yesterday. Now I don't have to do any research
