One for the experts in TCC as I notice some of you do your own builds and upgrades.
I would like to upgrade some parts on my Cervello P2C. Probablly will not make me any faster, but my bike will look cooler.
1. Change the brake levers. The stock ones suck.

2. Change the clip on aero bar extensions. I have the "ski jump" type and want to get carbon R (or S) bends that are very popular. Will keep the FSA Vison base bars that they are mounted on. I have DA gear levers mounted on the aero bars.

I have a basic bike tool kit, but one thing I lack is cable cutters. Any other tools needed? I have had a look at the Park tools site and FSA has instructions, and while both seem doable, I am not sure if I can actually do the work by myself. My aim here is to be more self sufficient with bike repairs.
Shall I give it ago? I suppose I can allways take my bike into a shop if I stuff it up.
Cheers,
Keren
