thanks for taking the time to write that down!!

the bars are almost identical in size (just the shape is different) and I think I might be able to just unclip the interuptors and take them off with the brifters and then clip em back on....

those are very useful tips.

another good tutorial for wrapping bars (I like this series.):

maybe Georgena will do a bar switch one...
