I called Tom's store to order the same bars he is sending to you. The guy I spoke to said they did not do "mail order". What is going on?

We currently do not have the capability/capacity to fulfill orders other than in our store.

I occasionally make exceptions, based solely on my discretion and availability of time.

Francois,

How do I find the classifieds?

bottom right of this page, there is a little scroll window where the classifieds are.

Do you have the shim to make them fit a 1" steerer?

are you guys referring to the visiontech bars that tom's raved about in prior posts? if so, what model are you talking about? i surfed visiontech's site but there doesn't appear to be any new bars available, unless i'm missing something.

thanks...

francois,
I don't post here much but was wondering how you kept the pads from rotating once you'd modified them? I've read that a single bolt is used to fix the pad?

Or was this not a problem for you??

Thanks in advance,
Rick

they rotate slightly if you want to rotate them, but if you use the pads the way they are supposed to be used (with your arms on them) they don't rotate.
Just put a washer on the base bar between the pads and bars so you can tighten it hard enough.

Francois,

Okay thanks. I just modified mine yesterday to be honest but am a little worried about them rotating under pressure. I put a nice big washer under there but am leery of cranking the bolts too tight..

I tend to 'break' things !!

Rick

let me know what you have broken, I will tell you what I have broken...if we combine the lot we may have a whole bike :-)

Those look awesome, my buddy gets back from National Guard today, I will get him the photos...I bet 99% chance he will want them.

What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about?

quick list:
Two Cannondale frames CAAD3/CAAD4, 4-5 older Mavic rims,
Half the Dura-Ace components on my '98 Cannondale!
C'dale mountain bike - seatpost bracket ripped out of top tube.
Few saddle rails & seatposts....
Couple of handlebars....
In 2002 my right Dura-Ace crankarm (that was nasty)...
2-3 headlight systems...
I won't even try & count the spokes...

Haven't broke:
2 x Campy Atlanta 36-spoke rear rims circa 96?

Your turn :)

for info the extensions are made with a mountain bike bar, Easton, I think EC70, but I have to check.
quite thick carbon with the middle section (where the stem usually attaches) used to go in the base bar.
very solid.
You still have about 1in if you want them a bit longer.
