Anyone used Dia Compe DC139 ?

  • Hi,

    I am thinking of getting some Dia Compe DC139 to use with my bullhorn(blb eastwood iirc).

    I was wondering if anyone had tried these with my type of bars and what they thought, thanks.

  • Not unlike the old "suicide" drop bar levers.

    The problem with them was that you when you pulled on the right-angled part, not much happened at the other end.

    No doubt these are more solid, but I'd think they'd be tricky to set-up: on the horizontal part of the bar, the lever is going to hit the underside of the bar; if you have them on an upturned section, then you might struggle to reach the lever.

    And they look a bit shit.

    Better off with something like a Goldfinger or bar-end lever.
