I've never used the combination so i can't attest but something that might work is making some type of "standoff" between the bar and bag to push it off the bars and make some room for the levers without sacrificing support. I'm thinking two blocks of wood, radiused at both ends to fit the bar and the dowel on the inside of the bag. Similar to the thing that Sheldon Brown used on his Raleigh Comp's seatbag:

That might help. http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/2009/02/rackoleur.html On May 5, 7:27 am, EricP <[email protected]> wrote: > Just wondering if folks have used the above mentioned combination? > Would like to try the extra levers on the Hillborne, but don't want to > give up using a front bag.
