Hello everyone. I've had a pretty decent mountain bike for the past few years, but it's been neglegted and needs quite a few replacement parts as I never had any cash while I was at university. I'm going to fit a whole new drivetrain in the next few weeks, but that's not a problem. These days I mostly use the bike for city riding and touring with the occasional trail ride thrown in for good measure.
I really like the riding position offered by cowhorn type handlebars and want to fit a set on my bike. The problem is shifters and brakes. I want a set of all in one brakes/shifters like the ones common on road bikes, but I can't find any suitable for use on cowhorn type handlebars. I read on another forum that these things do actually exist and are fitted on some high spec triathalon bikes but thats as much as I have managed to find out so far.
I use avid v-brakes and will be fitting a full new XT 27 speed drivetrain.
Can anyone help me find this elusive component???
