Hi,

I have some nitto bullhorns with a clamp area next to the stem of 26mm, will a gold finger or dirty harry (both 25.4mm) brake lever fit my 26mm bullhorns?

Thanks

simple answer: no

complicated answer: inverse shim (if asm is out of stock then I know edscoble has one)

I did it with the diatech dirty harry. the hinged clamp on those levers have some play in them so you can force them to work, although its not overly stressed or anything. I was mounting it on some 3ttt 26mm bars.

The hinge on the goldfinger will go up to 26 with a shiv. I have a spare if you need. Pm me if you need it. Peas

oops obviously the shiv is for smaller sizes, still it does fit a 26. Long day. Bed time.

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.
