Any Bar-End Brake/Shifters?
Moderator: robbosmans
Anyone know if there exists a brake/shifter combo for bar-end (bullhorn/base bar) mounting?
I see Shimano's Di2 levers, but I'm looking for mechanical shifters, 10-speed SRAM/Shimano style.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

You mean time trial shifters?

something like Cippolini did? Mounting STI shifters.
Note: this only works with bullhorns that are curved towards the end, not with straight versions.

Oh, sorry didn't see the brake part...

Let's assume you want the lightest, yes? This is Weight Weenies afterall.
Maybe contact JTek and see if they can make something for your specific needs/setup.

Nice find there. I'm not sure about the robustness of that brake lever, though. It appears to be an add-on to production shifters.
Meant as they say more for modulation in the aero position than full-on braking?
Another option I'm considering is to use a base bar with both the front and the rear of the hand grips being open.
Mount the brake levers as usual at the front of the grips, and a thumb shifter inserted into the back portion of the grip.
Appreciate the find, though! I never heard of Jtek.
