Hi Joel, I have used these when I ride my AHH with an Albatross bar. I am back to drops for the time being. I do not glue them on. I use them with bar end silver shifters. I use a single wrap of Newbaums over the grip and shifter cable and then put twine over that. Then I shellac them. I use clear shellac. My wife also has them on her Betty Foy like this with no problem.
Having said all that. I do think they are uncomfortable for any rides over 45 minutes or so. I think it is a combo of the angle of my hands on the Albatross bar and the hardness of the grips. I would recommend paddle grips. Even the mountain bikers use them. Best, Scott On Sunday, July 5, 2020 at 12:18:22 PM UTC-6, Joel Stern wrote: > > Thanks.
