I posted my review of the Easton Attack bars in the Product review section, but thought I'd post the installation process (cliffs notes version) here, along with some commentary.

I considered buying a new bike this season to replace my two year old Cervelo Dual, but after considering just about every bike out there I decided that I could spend $3k and basically only get a flash paint job out of it. So component upgrades is where I figured I'd drop some coin.

I started with the Easton Attack Bar. Figuring I could prob. drop a pound off my bike and put my body in a better position aero wise, I figured it'd be the best bang for the buck. I wasn't wrong, but one thing led to another with this upgrade: I needed a new stem (not necessary, but with a carbon bar I wanted a 31.8 for added safety). I opted for the Easton EA90, which was also uber light.

Fist thing about replacing aerobars that you should know is that you'll have to remove ALL of your cables. Yup....unlike the 'good ol' days' you can't simply unhinge the knob at the end and slip the shifters and brakes off, then pop new ones on. 20 minutes later I had my cables out I went to put my Vision Levers on my new bar....only problem was the Vision Aero Levers I have are too small for anything but Vision Base bars. ARGH! So in the absence of being able to brake (and a couple hours away from a ride) I had to reroute ALL of the cables and put it all back together. Not fun. A simple bar upgrade then led to Jagwire Cables and housings and SRAM TT Carbon Levers (whoa, what an awesome upgrade!). I also ordered a set of the Jagwire shifter housing replacement thingies, which shaved even more weight.

Once I had all the new stuff in hand (along with a bike cable specific cable cutter), I went to work. Surprisingly it was far easier to rout the cables through the Easton bar than it was to reroute them through the Vision. All in all it takes about an hour and a half to get the cables and housings cut and routed and another 30 min. to get the brakes and derailleurs adjusted properly. If you've never taken a bike completely apart and put it back together and don't want to start, I recommend taking your ride into a mechanic. For me it was completely worth it--my bike feels CRAZY light (at least the front does) and shifts and brakes smoother than it ever has. Manhandling the bike up hills also feels a lot better. Awesome upgrade.

For comparison, the Easton bars weigh 388 grams and I paid $400 for 'em. Zipp Vuka bars cost 3 times that and weigh almost 500 grams more. Easton rocks (and so do the SRAM brake levers--my god what an improvement!). Also, the Jagwire cables are worth every penny. I'm so used to buying decent parts from reputable companies and being disappointed, but these three companies really got it right (Easton, SRAM and Jagwire).
