Anyone know what brake clamp size i would need for Profile Airwings bullhorns?
they are stem clamp size 26mm but I don't know if they taper at all from the clamp, I don't have them yet but want to buy the lever so i can sort it out before they arrive.

wondering if i can get away with 25.4

thanks

Get a bar end lever, it's what they're designed for.

they taper down from 26.0 a couple of cm either side of the clamp area. Not sure what it goes down to, but if you have a lever with a hinge at attach it, it will probably be fine.

Okay, had me dinner.
Tapers down to 24mm dia approx 58mm from the centre of the bars.
I am using a Tektro lever on the 26mm section but I had to ream it out to fit - only because that's the lever I had and that's the position I wanted.

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

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