I finally got around to flipping the bars on this thing. The MTB lever obviously fits fine but the drop bar lever doesn't because it wants to sit in line on a bend (i.e. at the bend in drop bars). So I can't rotate the left hand lever down far enough for it to sit in a sensible place. What do?
It also has no derailleur now as I had to steal it for my other bike. I'm not sure what I'm going to replace it with. My choice is essentially related to the bars:
If I go with drop-bars I can do 1x8 brifter/1x9 bar-end/1x10 SRAM with bent derailleur. If I stay with MTB bars I can only do 1x10 with a bent derailleur.
Sorry about the crappy cluttered photo.
