Try some different grips with the Bullmoose bars first, maybe? Ergon makes a cork version now which isn't bad looking and they're very comfortable:

It's the right clamp diameter to fit mtb bars (unlike the Dirt Drop) and it's cheaper.

Who makes a worthy one for my Bombadil Hey guys. So I am having a bit of a dilema. Been riding my Bullmoose bars all week and my hands just arent agreeing with these. I am going to run either Porteur bars or Albatross or something similar with not a whole lot of rise not drop bars. There arent a whole lot of options these days as far as stems go. I believe what I want is a stem that has a bit of rise to it. This way I dont need to run a technomic raised all the way. I really like the Nitto Lugged stems and have thought about running a threadless Nitto with a Quill adapter. But that seems kinda silly. Another option I saw that I really liked was the Nitto Reversable stem but it looks like the only ones around are 60mm and those are $130..not that bad really but I think I need at least an 80mm, man these are so cool. Wish I could find an old Diamond Back MTB that had a similar stem stock on em also a nitto made item. I know about the Nitto Dirt Drop stems but honestly I find them a bit ugly....is that silly of me? So the last thing I am contemplating is a Custom stem. If I get a custom stem made I would like to get something made that is similar to a lugged nitto, something that will match the personality of my frame and lugged seatpost I have.
