Hey there, looking to swap out the drops of my Lemond Fillmore for Bullhorns, bit of a newbie, is this the right procedure?
1, Remove drops, and brake levers - preserving the brake cabling? (i.e unscrewing, dissembling the lever?
2, Get appropriate diameter bullhorn / chop and flip
3, Add either TT style brake levers, or stem mounted BMX styley
4, Retape
Anything I've missed?
I'm particularly interested in the brake cabling - is it easy to remove the cabling from the levers themselves, and what about lengths, any problems created by swapping from road drops to BMX brakes?
Tool wise :
Allen Keys
Set of Various Screw drivers
?
Cheers,
