I miss the bar-ends on my Quickbeam, where I'm used to gripping and resting my hands on the other bikes. So I made some plugs out of aluminum, to give back the extra length that you get with bar-end shifters. They match the external diameter of the bars (24.0) and have a very snug hand fit inside. These aren't done - I need to hollow them out, and I haven't decided whether just to use strong Loctite, or to rig a screw & cone internal stopper.
I figured out flikker: http://www.flickr.com/photos/71141757@N02/6566387189/in/photostream But still prefer SmugMug: diesel.smugmug.com/Bici/M-Bar-plugs/ Once I get them attached, I'll finish up the rest of the cockpit (stem, tape, brake cable routing, VO bell mount). But for now, they stay in, and they ride great! - Andrew, Berkeley -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
