For what it’s worth.  Bars are still holding!

I've tried maybe 5 other bars over the last year and always come back to Ron's. I'm tempted to try them on my Sam but I think I'd have issues with reach restrictions.

In this case I feel as if they are made for the bike and absolutely perfect proportionally and fit the build to a T. Have you had a chance to take it for a ride?  On Friday, September 20, 2024 at 2:30:34 PM UTC-7 Danny wrote: Great looking build!

Truly appreciate the responses.   Sent from my iPhone On Sep 14, 2024, at 6:35 AM, David Ross <dros...@gmail.com> wrote:  I’d also add that the guy who designed the Orthos uses a 25.4 single bolt stem on the Orthos even though they are 26mm. I think he actually designed them to work this way. Personally, I don’t know enough about engineering or metallurgy to know if this is a good or bad idea, so please don’t think I’m advising you to do this.  On Fri, Sep 13, 2024 at 5:05 PM Andrew Joseph <drew.jo...@gmail.com> wrote: Bars slippage reports came in at an interesting point for me.  What was the consensus on getting them to stay put?  The Sam rebuild is almost there.  Orthos will be angle down slightly more, bar tape and need longer dynamo wires for the Pass and Stow…. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
