Title: modern-ish front brake lever assembly
Post by: mainline on September 08, 2014, 08:17:25 pm
I'm after a modern-ish hydraulic front brake lever assembly that will fit fatbars. Doesn't have to be pretty as long as it works, and cheap, as I'll be cutting it up :D

Fatbars are 1&1/8" (I think) at the clamps, tapering to 7/8" (22.2mm) at the handlebars themselves.

7/8" has been the standard for a long time, with the exception of some middle age poser bikes which run 1". No doubt there's some oversized, over-blinged junk available in 1" if that helps?!

I don't understand what you're trying to achieve.

Aren't Fat bars still 7/8 at the ends?
