The handlebars as I have them set up at the moment are shown in the picture above. To be honest I’m not sure that I’m really getting on with them – there doesn’t seem to be enough of the straight bit left before the curve comes in for me to comfortably get my hands on. This means that I feel like I don’t have a proper hold of the bars as part of my hand is on the curve. With the nature of the ride in the rush hour traffic I don’t have long enough stretches to get my hands up on the “bull horn” section as it leaves me too far from the brakes.
The straight bar that I brought of eBay showed up yesterday so I may stick that on tonight – another advantage is that the brake lever clamps will fit properly around it – all I need to do is find the bolts where I dropped them in the shed the other night when they wouldn’t fit back in after opening the clamps up to get them around the road bars.
I still have one roll of the bar tape left as with the bars being so short I didn't need to use all of it, so this can go on the flat bars as well.
