Thanks for the tutorial, total noob here. When changing from flats to drop bars, will the levers work when choosing the right diameter?

They will not work unfortunately.

I'm going from a straight handlebar to a racing curved handlebar will I need to change my gear controls and brake controls on my bike
@parktool Жыл бұрын
Correct. Near shift and brake levers will be needed, as well as new cables and housing.

i wonder if you can use a bountain bike shimano trigger shifter to a road bike handlebar
@parktool3 жыл бұрын
MTB shifters are designed for bars of 22.2mm. Road bars are 23.8. Additionally, the clamp design of the MTB shifter typically cannot get around the curve of the drop bar.

Hey, I´m new in this bike world. Can i replace my flatbar for drop bars in my Trek FX2 and if so, do I have to change the entire group? Thanks.
@parktool3 жыл бұрын
Not the entire group. You will need new brake levers that are compatible with your brakes (Linear pull) and built in shifters compatible with the rear derailleur. New cables and housing, plus tape, and some work.

When changing a 40cm drop bar to 44cm, how do i check if my cables are long enough or too short?
@parktool4 жыл бұрын
Generally speaking, if you still have full rotational travel of your handlebars without kinking or binding at the housing stops or barrel adjusters, your housing is still long enough. Here are some articles with more information: www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/cutting-and-sizing-cable-housing www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/brake-housing-cable-installation-drop-bars

@parktool2 жыл бұрын
You can. The thing about going to drops is that it can be costly due to the brake/shifter combo is typically expensive. If you go with bar end shifters or another style of shifter it can be done for less investment.
