Hi All,
I'm in the process of changing my flat bar road bike into a drop bar bike and need a little advice. I've recently bought a used set of shimano sora combined shifters for the job and would like to change them over myself. A few questions that I need answered before I buy anything else are
1. Existing bars are 25.4mm must the new drops be exaxtly 25.4mm.
2. Existing stem is 90mm from centre of riser to centre of bars is this an appropriate length for drop bars.
3. Bar width Is there an easy way to determine correct width.
4. What type of bar tape is recommended.
5. I'm pressuming that I will need new cables.
Any other advice would also be much appreciated
