Electronic shifting users are less affected. Alternatively, you could route the cables externally, although that would alter the bar’s teardrop profile. Guiding the inner cables through needs some patience, and you’ll want to feed the outer casing in from the longer end, whether checking length or finally fitting, as the aluminium hole edges, although filed smooth, do shave off some of the casing.įor the same reason, it pays to ensure the casing entering near the stem is securely taped in place to prevent abrasion from normal bar movement. The openings aren’t really angled, so the cables do create small bulges where they enter and exit the bar, but if taped with cushioned tape, they’re hardly noticeable. Internal cable routing is minimal, with two 13mm diameter holes per side drilled 78mm apart within small depressions on the underside of the bar. Their additional width in the bends creates useful support for your palms when resting on the hoods. The central round portion of the tops is 31.7mm in diameter, enlarging to a teardrop shape that tapers in depth and width towards the gentle bend. The drops are in Deda’s Rapid Hand Movement (RHM) design a shallow, compact drop with an ergonomic and flowing shape that allows a range of comfortable positions for all hand sizes. The broad tops make for a comfortable hand hold, and the RHM drop is one of my favourites
