Mavic Wheels

Surly corner or moloko?

I wondered about a Jones H bar, but the marketing copy made me vomit:
"The Jones H-Bars are the perfect upgrade for a bikepacking, touring, mountain, road, gravel, commuting, city, or just about any other type of bike!" FFS

Also it doesn't have additional prongs for unnatural barcon insertion

Crazy Bar is in there though.

Top knot lack easily disguised with tweed cloth cap!
Home-drawn style tattoo replaces shovel-shaped beard.

At least a purple shovel-shaped beard.

I'd like to use grab on foam rather than wrap tape which I don't find that comfy.
So bars need to accept foam, the VO Crazy is worth a look.
Or just Bull horns again.

If you own a bike with those bars, you can't call them "bull horns" unless you've also got an amazon plastic trispoke wheel in a pastel colour and trousers that stop just below your knees.
And brogues!

Mavic Pursuit are the most stylish imo

I wondered about a Jones H bar, but the marketing copy made me vomit:

Yeah, Jeff hasn’t just drunk his own Kook Aid, he’s snorting the powder mix.

I had H bars on my Jones and didn’t like them. The angle was too much of a half way house between flat bars and hoods / drops of road bars for me. Stupidly expensive as well. On-One made a copy for a while, as did Titec.

All these "modern" bar shapes are very popular with some if our customers - they will spend ages telling you how brilliant they are, then appear with a different bar a few weeks later.
It's all part of the fun of cycling.

I'm forever telling customers the perfect riding position doesn't exist, and the perfect saddle height feels too low!

The handlebars I am using are On One Snorky named after The Bananasplits 70's kids TV show.

Cool name, cool looking bar, but I struggle to imagine they are suitable for anything other than a ride down the cafe chatting and laughing with friends.
No use to me obvs

They are very suited to what we do at present. Which is 20-30 miles in the Yorkshire Dales and around Lancaster area. small rides after kids and a motorcycle accident getting back into cycling again. We used to do 60-80 mile days and touring but kids ended that!

I never used the drop of drop bars so they suit me very well. having gears and brakes in the same place is good and there are more hand positions than you would imagine.

One doesn't do chatting and laughing with friends

Just ordered some of these for my project bike
