Reviving this thread! I am now endeavoring to do this to the Sam. It occurs to me that I need to get brake housing cables for my second set of handlebars, didn't think about that.
Also, I have a question - for those of you with canti brakes, how are you doing the front brake swap? Do you have a separate hanger and straddle cable for each set of handlebars (and then you are releasing the part of the straddle cable that is crimped into the brake to make the switch)? Please let me know! On Saturday, May 21, 2011 5:11:54 PM UTC-4, Zack wrote: > > > Thank you guys for all the input. > > Great stuff. I ordered the couplers this weekend.
