I was able to squeeze extra chunky ESI grips over the bar end shifter/cable on my albas, but I didn't love those grips (slippery and not durable).
I didn't notch the grip to provide a channel for the cable, and as nitpicky as I can be, I really didn't find it to be an annoyance. my suggestion would be to use plenty of alcohol on the inside of the grip when installing :) -tio in bk On Wednesday, May 8, 2024 at 5:00:48 PM UTC-4 Wesley wrote: > I love cheapo cork grips on albatross bars.
