Want to replace brake levers with cross levers... what's the right size/diameter of handlebars?

The center of the handlebars (stock) are 25.4mm. However, learning from my mistakes, the diameter of the bar tapers down from the center so I would suggest finding brake levers from 22-24mm. That or get shims at a LBS, though for brakes it's a huge meh :/

It will fit on most standard handlebars which are about 1" in diameter. Newer more expensive mountain bikes are using a 31mm bar which will not work. If you are using a mountain bike you might want to measure but otherwise you shoul be fine. God Bless

Depends on the distance from the brake shaft hole to the rim. Also the width of you rim, but not as much. These are designed more for MTBs, i.e. 38mm to 50mm wide rims & 79mm to 99mm reach. They are quite long for standard road bikes.

Mine looks like a standard Schwinn bicycle handlebar (7/8"-1") guestimate. I put mine snug to the grip on the left side and as horizontal as possible. The shaft is about 5" and the mirror extends about an inch/so more. I adjust it the first time to give me the best rear view before tightening it down well. For even better safety another mirror on the right hand side would be good.

there is really no correlation between tire diameter and brake typeit will fit if your bike has the proper mounting hole for this brake type, and you are not using an unusually small wheel relative to your fork sizein other words: if this type of brake is what is currently on your bike, it should fit

To the best of my knowledge, these are universal fit and can fit all handlebar handles. You just need and air compressor to put them on-it is easier that way. I went to NTB and got mine put on for free.

what size diameter handle bar do you have? If its about 7/8 od you should be ok use wd4o to put them on

Keep in mind that these are made for MTB handlebars, which are 22.2mm in diameter at the grip. Most road bars are 23.8mm in diameter; some are even bigger. Sheldon Brown has a good list of handlebar sizes. In order to fit these on road bars, you'd probably need ream out the clamps by .8mm (or close to it). I'm not sure whether that would affect their structural integrity. The only bar-ends I know of that are sized for road bars are the Dia Compe knob grips, model DC138 -- if you can find them. If you've got a better solution, let me know -- I'd like to do something similar.

The Giant appears to have V brakes so, yes, they should fit. The current levers may be a bit smaller, but you could keep them for use with the new brakes.

the steerer tube on these forks I 265 mm. you will, more than likely, need to cut them to size. you can find most other info you need on sram.com. I have enjoyed these forks

They should fit on any disc brake ready bike. Mine went on a 1999 Mountain Cycle San Andreas. Also my brakes came reversed from normal. Meaning the right lever was set for the front brake and the left lever was set for the rear brake. Judging by previous response there is a 50-50 chance you get the normal US config. Your local bike shop can do the switch if needed in just a few minutes. I hope this helps.

Joy, I gambled on the large based on my grip and they work great. The diameter of the handle bar was not an issue as they just slip on and bolt tight to hold in place. The gear lever just butted up against the inside of the grip so no issues there. It took some adjusting on the gear levers and grips to get them just right but after a few test rides I got them where they were comfortable. Hope this helps.

They seem to fit just about any 'normal' sized handle bars. Thats about the best that answer that I can give you.

It will depend on your model, if you look up the bike online it will tell you the diameter of your handlebars, the listing tells you what size handlebars it will fit.

The handlebar is standard diameter - about 1". The wrap around the handlebar isn't that great but I figure if it has issues it will be easily replaced.

The handlebar stem I was replacing had the diameter etched into the surface. I think it was etched below the minimum insertion line. If you don't see that, you can measure the diameter or measure the circumference and calculate the diameter.

The tires on mine are 700x28. To change to flatbar, you would have to either find a threaded/quill stem that would fit the handlebar that you want to buy. Handlebars usually run about $25 plus $10 for the grips, stem perhaps another $20. You would need new brake cables ($8), gear cables ($8), new brake levers/shifters ($40 a set). Otherwise, you would have to buy a new fork ($50-$200 depending on material), headset ($40), spacers ($5), stem (about $25), handlebar grips ($10) and handlebar ($25), plus the gear and brake cables and shifters/brakes as noted above.
