cycling query

Gorkys_Forever [Edit] [Delete] 12 replies 16:35, 14 April '14

I bought some nitto handlebars, assuming my current brakes and shifters would fit on it, but no they're too small.
Where can I get some "wider" brakes and shifters that will fit?

Some mong in a cycling shop told me they "dont make them" which has to be bullshit.

- the handlebars are too fat for the levers
