| Feb 19, 2019 at 8:00 | comment | added | pseyfert | @FrancescoPegoraro I have seen a few Torx screws on handle bars (for sram break leavers and rock shox dropper post remotes, so far) and i have to admit i confused a few for hex at first sight. In that case Chris' suggestions of ball head + cutting might not get you far (haven't seen torx ball heads or torx keys that could be cut). | |

| Feb 18, 2019 at 18:18 | comment | added | Grigory Rechistov | I want to add that a remote dropper lever does not need high torque to sit on the handlebars. Certain manufacturers recommend a value as low as 1 Nm to their products. This means that, if installed properly, not much effort is needed to remove/install one. | |
