What size are the bars at the clamp area? I cant seem to find any measurements for this. And if anyone owns one would a dirty harry lever or a goldfinger lever work?

^this is the bike i have (not the mashup or the 84 or the 72)

I think the bars I have are oversize but would one of those levers fit?

If they're 31.8mm oversize then no, they won't fit. You'll need an oversize crosstop lever like Cane Creek. If the bars are either 26.0mm or 25.4mm then Dirt Harry/Goldfinger will be fine. Get the tape measure out!

Ask GA2G, he's got a Bowery I believe - but one of the older ones.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
