Rob, thanks for info re. the Tektros. They look like a good deal and readily available.
On an M-bar, I don't think the thickness would matter much for me... I don't use the aero "resting on the bodies" position much, and when I do, I'm holding them sideways so I don't *think *it would matter. I'm going to try to find a replacement at the funky little shop I know, but if not, am thinking that the Tektros could work fine.
