Thorn Accessory T bar

(1/2) > >>

fram:
I'm thinking of fitting one of these to get my Ortlieb bar bag off my Audax handlebar.  Has anyone had problems with their brake cables?  Which length T bar would you recommend?
Thanks.

mickeg:
I had no problems.  I use drop bars. 

But if you do not say anything about your bars, or stem length, or why you think brake cables would be a problem, we can't really comment on lengths or potential incompatibilities.

It would replace about 25mm of spacers on your steerer tube.  I got the shortest length, if my memory is correct that is 55mm.

julk:
Here is what the shortest one looks like under straight bars.

Thanks for the responses.  The brake cables are quite tight near the Ortlieb fitting on the handlebar so the 10cm T bar may be needed to extend the fitting away from the cables, if you see what I mean.

Fram,

If you would like to see a direct comparison of the 55mm and 105mm Thorn Accessory T-bars, you can find it in a photo on my Danneaux's Nomad gallery page here:

I fitted several of the T-bars in various lengths so I could best decide on length for my accessories, handlebar bag, and Rohloff shifter.

Best,

Dan.
