Thanks everyone.

Emergency over. I got the levers fitted with NO BOTHER at all ....... I DID remember to pull the inner out of the outer before cutting the inner, HONEST I DID!


Anyway, got the rear done and made the schoolboy error on the front, it was all going so well. Never mind, it cost me a new brake cable and another few minutes.

But good news, all the junk went back on with no bother at all, very pleased with it all. Might have to do the taping up again having read some comments above but for now chuffed to bits. Makes the bike far more usable for me.

Junk in place.

Thanks everyone for all of your help and suggestions.

Just shim it. I think the Garmin one comes with a shim. Racewear direct would make you one to suit if they don't have them as a stock item.

Thanks Rob3rt - I'll pop the barfly off the good bike and have a mess with that over the winter (I have "normal" bars on the tourer, and have been wondering about an outfront mount for mapping/navigating).

Did we really get through this whole thread without anyone making a joke about cycling shorts being too tight? Is @Fnaar feeling ok?

The Garmin mount is on the horizontal of the stem (removed on this pic). I can not use crosstops with the lights on though .

My Cateye light straps around the headtube and is perfectly visible.

Visit the Rose website they have a whole heap of doo-dahs for mounting stuff on handlebars.

Interesting placement of the cross tops there. Is that where you should have them. I put mine as far outward as I could. Did I mount them wrong or is it a case of where ever you want them?

They were fitted by Edinburgh cycles when I bought the bike. I guess they go where you feel comfortable. That is an old pic. I have replaced the shifters now but never considered moving them.
Edit. The bars do narrow down so they are mounted on the thick part of the bar.

Shims ? I thought that was what all the old tubes were for !
