<p>So now I see an entire menu of posting options. Here come the pics. Smokey wanted to take it for a ride, but the frame is a little too big for him.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks also Kevin and Dug for your suggestions. I'd really like to get it all locally if possible.…</p>

<p>I actually like the fake cork looking rubber ones better than real cork ones.</p>

Apparently I'm also too stupid to figure out how to add images to a thread already in progress. It's also annoying that when I click on "edit thread" I get bumped back to the top of the page, rather than actually being able to edit the thread.

It took me a hot second to mount but here it is, almost done. Apparently there isn't a LBS in Chicago that sells cork grips, which Jones recommends, so I'm still using the shitty Oury grips from the flatbar I had before. Bars need to be wrapped, too.

<p>Damn, that is a sweet looking ride. I'm will most def. get in touch with you. Thank you so much for replying. I know I can resell them, I just want a feel for how they feel before I drop the money, and have to redo all the cabling on my bike.</p>

<p>I'll get in touch with you here. Thanks again.</p>

<p>Hey Adam, I just put these bars on my new Salsa Mukluk and can honestly say they are excellent! I got them from North Central Cyclery in Dekalb. I would be happy to let you take a ride on my bike and check them out. I'm out in the Orland Park area. I wouldn't sweat it too much on dropping the coin before testing them out. You will get your money back if you resell them. They are a hot item.…</p>

<p> </p>
<p>And to be clear, I'm from Minneapolis, my build is custom, done in part by two guys who used to work at QBP, which owns Surly. So yeah, I've heard plenty about the ways to do a Nexus w drops or other bars that just don't take a trigger/grip very well. Jtek is also a MN company, headquartered in the same city my mom lives in, actually. So yeah, I've seen this setup before.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>And you're right, you'd have to adjust the spacing on the gears very frequently if you're using a travel agent. I know a couple people that have this setup and so far they've been OK as far as bike wear goes.</p>

<p>I do have shims around, I probably also have a standard sized stem. I have an alfine trigger shifter too, and although it fits on, it isnt exactly easy to access. With the titec bars, you mount the levers/shifter on the front side, I guess on the loop bars you would have to mount on the rear side...</p>

<p>I thought about using a JTEC bar-end, but these bars are already wide and I don't want them any wider with the bar-end. You can do the thumbie with 8 spd shifter and travel…</p>

<p>I thought about using a JTEC bar-end, but these bars are already wide and I don't want them any wider with the bar-end. You can do the thumbie with 8 spd shifter and travel agent, but I would be concerned about long term hub wear if you aren't "just right" in the gears. Jtec is supposedly working on a thumb mount shifter for nexus/alfine but I haven't heard anything on that in over a year. I almost think a grip shift would be the best for this bar, but I'm not a big fan of them.</p>

<p>Anyways, I live in Roscoe Village, you can send me a message if you wanted to try the bars.</p>
