No kidding. That's one of the big issues many of us have with threadless.

The Bridgestone bar > also requires far less stem extension Yes, different handlebars require different stem extensions. It's a challenge figuring out what you need ahead of time. That's one reason there's so much stem exchanging going on on the lists. It's a good thing you can use an albatross bar - it's one of the most controversial designs ever. I've seen the Albatross mounted upside-down. I think it looks great, very much like the sporting bikes pre-WWI. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
