It appears that the profile base bar starts its curve too close to the end of the bar for the bar-end style brake lever to be inserted. Should I try to mount some road levers to them, or is there some sort of trick I'm missing?
Thanks!
If I'm reading you right...those brakes are meant to be inserted/mounted in the end of bullhorn handlebars...not into the end of clip-on aero bars. Such as in this picture. If you used bar-end shifters...they would be interested/mounted on the end of the aero bars. (note: This pic is not my bike...just a pic I found on the internet. Too many brake handles in close proximity IMO.) -- Dan
