Fruity Posted May 31, 2017 Share I would like to fit mountain bike bars on my Silverback Strela 2. Would anyone know how I should go about it? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy Posted May 31, 2017 Share I'm running a flat bar on my Spez Sector/Diverge. FSA road crank, Deore 10sp cassette and chain. XT shifters, XT rear derailleur, Sora front derailleur. Sram XO disc brakes. Doesnt miss a beat! Thanks to my lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Marshall Posted May 31, 2017 Share Short answer - depending on the groupset and derailleurs MTB shifters should work without a problem. However road rim brakes and MTB rim brakes have different pull ratios so you will need road specific flat bar brakes - the type used on TT bars will work.

Fruity Posted June 1, 2017 Share Why are you doing that?It's just for comfort really, to make a long story short, for those days when I'm in the mood to commute to work and back. My brother in law had it done to his tandem a few years ago, and I like the idea of the concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
