Hi Forum people...

:oops: Stupid question I know but the pop loc remote that came with my Reba's will it fit anywhere on the bars or just in the grip area :?: I plan on swapping my bars shortly so until then I have it fitted to a Minoura space grip

Just that looking at the space grip the diameter looks loads smaller than the bars...and the poploc is a perfect fit on the space grip :? :?:

When fitted to bars is it meant to go with the levers etc or anywhere on the bar :?:
Regards

    It's a fairly small diameter so you will probably be limited to fitting it near the grips.

    The new xtr shifter is a godsend for this as you can adjust it left/right giving you more room for the poploc.
    The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

    in the grip area in the 22.1mm diameter section. normally close to your hands so you can use it without letting go of the grips.

I will have to wait until i get back home to see the pic, but in the mean time if its any help... when I look at my poploc remote the levers are on the lefthand side of the clamp screw - is that of any help :?:
