Stupid question, the answer is pretty obvious.

Or

Have the opportunity to swap the Attack bars off of my TT bike to the Attack TT bars. 350g vs. 900g for the ones I have on there now. Main question is, does anyone have any advice on some good levers? There are SRAM levers on there right now, but because of the way the bar was molded, there is a little seam on the inside that doesn't let the brake levers (or shift for that matter) seat all the way in, so there is a bit of a gap between the lever body and the bar. I don't think it affects the security of the lever attachment, but it's a little unsightly.
Only issue is that the stem on the bike now is a 26mm, and the new bars are 31.8mm, so I'd need to get a new head for it, not a huge deal, just a bit of a hassle. No more so than swapping the stuff over I guess honestly.
The TT bars are a bit narrower, but will probably help with the positioning on the bike.

Follow-up question: does anyone have much experience with the Nokon, or similar cable housings? The way the routing is on the Attack TT bars I think it might be a necessity for decent routing.

I have 30 seconds experience with bars like those. All I can say is that if I ever get a set -- and I want to -- they must be designed in a way that allows for more than two hand positions.

The bars I tried took away every position from grabbing the bars near the stem all the way around until I was comfortable holding the hoods. The armrests got in the way.

Those are pretty hot, looks like the lever blades are a bit wider too. One of my complaints with the SRAMs, they're just so damned thin, it's hard to feel like you're getting any power when you grab them...

But they're areo They look uncomfortable to use

Nokons with TT bars is fine, in my opinion, and helps with routing. I've never been satisfied with how the routing is on TT bars, but the Nokons made it bearable. I guess.

I believe we got around the seam issue by honing the inside of the bar. Having ridden briefly on the SRAM TT stuff, I think it feels fantastic, and would go that route before Shimano. Campy barcons feels like ****, to me, and replacing a cable is stupidly difficult.

I think that Nokons would be totally needed on this. The routing is a bit different than the show bike, but it's still kinda bad.
Honing it out eh? That might work, and honestly, there really isn't a lot of pressure going into that area, so maybe I'll give that a shot. Not a problem to get some SRAM stuff though, but I put the Ultegra on there because I had it laying around, so I have that on there already...
I think I have my eye on some of the new FSA NeoPro cranks. So hot.
