I definitely have room for a splitter on the front brake in between the
hanger and the yoke, thanks for the help doug!
I don't have room for multiple bikes, and the difference between my Sam
with albas and duremes and noodles and jack browns is huge - is like two
different bikes. I imagine tha
I was very gung-ho on this idea, and set up 2 cockpits (bullmoose and
noodles) with DaVinci splitters and V-brakes that I could literally
swap in 5 minutes OK, big deal...
But ultimately what I had failed to consider was that I really
preferred the bullmoose bars on my Bombadil over the Noodle

I see from the variety of responses here that it has been done, and
apparently deemed successful by several knowledgeable people. My thought on
it is purely philosophical, and is parallel to my thoughts about
double-sided hubs on single speed bikes. It seems like it would be cool to

I put a DaVinci in the brake cable between the hanger & the yoke. My
bike is 58 cm so there's quite a bit of cable in there to work with.

Thomas, what type of wheel lock do you have mounted on the Sam? I have a
cheapie on my old Schwinn but would like to get a better one.

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 ha
Thank you guys for all the input.
Great stuff. I ordered the couplers this weekend. They'll be ready for
me to install when I take delivery of the Sam in 7 weeks or so.
Seems pretty do-able. I am having riv set me up with albatross bars on
the build. I think I'll ride those a ton this summer/fal

I note that the black coloring (presumably anodized) on the splitters appears
to be wearing away.

One thing I learned is that having chosen Paul Motolites made this
project significantly more expensive. Each cockpit has its own noodle.
And with most brands/styles of linear pull brake, my approach to this
would have meant replicating a $5-$10 part for each cockpit. With the
Motolites, I think it
I'm probably of no help here.
The stem for each stemmed cockpit is the same... it's the Dirt Drop
100 (26.0 diameter clamp) from RBW (obviously N/A for the Bullmoose/
Tallmoose cockpit).
I deliberately kept the stem the same because I wanted to get the full
effect of the difference in handlebars.
I have DaVinci splitters on my Bombadil (after seeing Seth's setup...
thanks, Seth).
I use them for my derailleur cables only. Since I'm running V-brakes,
I've set up each bar setup with it's own brake cable down to the
noodle, which requires unfastening the cable at the brake; no big
deal... it's
Wow Thomas, that's quite in depth. I've thought about trying to set up
a davinci system between my Noodles and Albatross. How, and where did
you set up the davinci couplers? i can't really decide what would be
an optimal place for them. It looks like we have similar setups. I
have the Paul motolite
Thomas,
Your page is great -- lots of useful information there. Also, I like
the Kevin's bag on the front of the bike. I might try that.
Do you know off hand which stems (model and length) you are using with
each handlebar? It would be interesting to compare the exact change
in effective cockp
