VO City Bike Brake Levers are available in both MTB (22.2mm) and road bar (23.8mm) sizes. This style came on a used Nishiki Mixty I have and they have really long levers so I'm not sure they would be that great on M bars which has a pretty short grip area. The other option as mentioned is cross

Hi Tim, You can get new non-aero brake levers from Velo Orange: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/brakes/levers.html I have 'em set up on my moustache bar, and I much prefer the non-aero cable routing for moustache bars. (VO also has non-aero brake hoods.) Also, some people have

Non-aero brake levers fit the moustache bar diameter (23.8mm), and have the same cable routing (in this usage) as MTB brake levers. Think the old Campy SR/NR ones, where the cable exits the pointy top of the lever. However, no one sells a new/reproduction non-aero lever. I've been keeping my eye

Thanks for the heads-up, Shoji. I hadn't noticed the brake levers on their site before. Now I just have to decide between the Gran Compes: drilled or undrilled... Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from th

I meant to add that it's possible you would prefer a less aggressive bar for your style of riding. Perhaps an albastache or albatross or bosco? I'm glad I didn't go with the moustache bar due to the extra with and less drop of the albastache. With abandon, Patrick On Thursday, April 10, 2014 1

I went from a 120mm stem on drops to a 70mm Technomic on moustache. The drop-bar stretch was becoming too much for this old bar-leaner, but I think the 50mm difference is just right. Moustache on their own have a notably longer reach than drops On Friday, April 11, 2014 2:37:42 AM UTC-5, Deac
