Looking for some short reach compact drops

[phopwood]

All,

Made the conversion in the week put the tape on today after making sure the brakes were in the right place for me, over a few rides.  It all works and fits me well. 

My only real concern is the lack of fine adjustment on the brakes I will see if I can find some noodles with adjusters or similar.

The bars turned out in the end to be Zipp and not 3T they are very nice and very comfortable.  I invested in a 45mm Deda stem.

I have kept the flat bars with the brake cables, leavers and stem in place so I can swap back anytime I want too. 

All the best.

What are you using where the cables exit the Rohloff shifter, some kind of noodles? Looks like a good idea.

Yep they came with the Rohloff kit when I brought it.  They guide the cables very well indeed.
