• Maybe stupid but I bought some of the 3T carbon gravel bars, cant for the life of me get the sti clamp band round all the bends in the bars. Cover with grease? Carbon paste? Wrestle it? Do they do ones bigger than the 23.8-24.2mm?

  • Try with fairy liquid applied direct to the bar. Just a little.

    In case you've not tried already, you can also normally remove the sti clamp from the lever. It's then fiddly to screw the sti bolt back into it again, but it's doable.

  • Yeah they are a pain in the ass, scratched mine right up getting the shifters on.
