Choice of bars

beatznbobbz:I'm also currently looking to put a front brake on my bike (I'm new to fixed riding and am still setting up my ride) and have generally found that bmx levers are too small for my bars (I also use Nitto Bulls). I've just ordered some Cane Creek Cyclocross levers from Wiggle which should *fingers-crossed* fit, without having to use a hose-clip as I'm doing with an old MX lever :-P

Are these the Cane Creek levers?

It says that they're of the pass-through variety to be used alongside existing brifters/levers... are you just going to cut off excess cable and hope there's no slippage?
