Just get a drop bar and cut the drops off lmao, putting hoods on a bullhorn bar (which already has the same hand position as hoods) then trying to route cables is weird

I just want to be sure that your brifter setup here is *intentional.* It seems like it’d be a bit difficult to access those brake levers while riding with them at such a low angle underneath the bars. As they are, they’re “upside down” which is why the cable runs out toward the end of the bar rather than back along the bar where it can be wrapped under the bar tape.
I think you’d have better luck with your brakes and with your routing if you flipped the bars so they slope downward at the end and then mounted the brifters on the top rather than slung underneath. You’d have essentially the same bar shape, but your hands would rest on the brifter hoods and you’d have easy, ergonomic access to the brake lever.
