I tried doing this cheaply over the winter and it didn't quite work out for me.
If you're planning on keeping your trigger shifters you MUST have a 22.2mm outer diameter bullhorn or the trigger shifter will not fit on it. I bought this pair and could fit my shimano trigger shifter onto the right location but needed a shim to match the 31.8mm diameter for my head tube clamp.
The problem is that I'm not aware of any reverse brake levers that will fit the inner diameter of those bars. The ones I bought (for a different, larger internal diameter set of bars) are a millimeter or two too large. I think I can grind out enough material from the last inch of the inside of the bars to get them to fit but that was getting too far in the hacky range with the tools I had on hand so I aborted the project. I expect I'll finish it at some point either by getting a shifter (I'm on a 1x) or finishing out my hacks but I'm enjoying the weather right now.
I remember the more expensive option being to use bar end shifters either on special mount (Paul's Thumbies, IIRC) or shifters on the end with some sort of side pull reverse brake lever on the bars.
thanks :D bars brakes
