Fitting a barbag with STI it can be done!!

[Dave Whittle Thorn Workshop]

Hi,

Anyone wondering how to fit a barbag with STI, heres how!

Looks good, but how accurate/reliable is the shifting with that arrangement? Doesn't the bag tend to bash the 90 degree bends on rough roads?

[Dave Whittle Thorn Workshop]

Works fine, no issues so far.  Havent tried it on the roughstuff.

That's neat! Let me know if you come up with a solution for combining a barbag with bar top brake levers.

Looks good - what parts do I need to retrofit this to a new Audax 853 / Ultegra STI - and how fiddly is it to do?

Hi,  All you need is some longer cables and two 90 degree V brake pipes avalible from our website.

Danger Mouse- brillantly simple solution!!

What size Carradice barbag is that? and what are the handlebar widths?
Did you have to cut the noodle at all?

Luceberg, thanks for the pointer. Try fitting Salsa Cross Bars they are a good deal wider than standard - you could tape a horse to the bars and still have room for top brake levers.
