hi,

building up a bastard, off road rat of a bike; a kind of modern version of the days of drop handlebar mountain bikes....

i want to put some on one Mungo's, but can i put mtb size v brake levers and shifers( possibly shitshifter's for added kookiness). i cant work it out from one on's site. may be i am stupid; but any help appreciated.

cheers

I've messed about with Mungos before but only on SS so can't help with the shifters. The oddest solution I found to the brakes was to use some Tri, bar end brake levers. Seemed to work ok and will certainly add to the querky feel ๐Ÿ˜‰

so, whats the deal with the different sizes?
i am happy to get a new stem, but not levers.

they do look great fun, maybe i should get my tape measure out!

Mungos are a road size not MTB, so the O/D is 26mm ... always thought it was odd that they were road size but Midges weren't.
