We got hold of some second hand bullhorns, so they have the brakes but of course no drops.

I am looking forward to using the bar-end shifters for exactly that reason of not getting out of the aero position to change gears.

Hopefully the only time I'll have to change position is at the turn around when I use the brakes!

Good to hear you found them so easy to use - spesh in the first race
Thanks Eden
