Designed for marathon mountain bike racing and skirting the drop-bar ban at the Leadville 100, the 5DEV Shredville Mounts allow riders to integrate road-style brake hoods onto a mountain bike handlebar. Do they solve a real problem or one that doesn’t exist? We’re not exactly sure. See more here…

Named after the Leadville 100 mountain bike race, which banned drop-bars at its races earlier this year, the 5DEV Shredville Mounts are for folks who take aerodynamics and loopholes a touch too seriously. The Shredville Mounts secure to any 22.2mm handlebar, providing a place to mount road-style brake hoods and offering an aerodynamic position while maintaining full access to the brake controls.

As 5DEV puts it, “When you’re racing the clock while breathing through a straw at 10,000 feet, you’re going to want to choose optimization over aesthetics.”

The Shredville Mounts are designed and machined in California. They weigh 135 grams per pair, and although they look slightly ridiculous, they’ll get you around the drop-bar ban at the Leadville 100 mountain bike races, but they aren’t cheap at $199 USD.
