Albatross bars are excellent on my Hunqapillar and I ride a lot of root, rocky, and steep single track in the Colorado Rockies. You can look through my whole photo stream, but here are two pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/32311885@N07/9360335191/ (there are a set of pics there showing the whol

[RBW] Re: Cork grips glue suggestions?

I used Gorilla glue. It worked great, but it is pretty much permanent. On Thursday, August 8, 2013 12:34:11 AM UTC-4, Michael wrote: > > Hi Y'all, > > Getting ready to put cork grips on my Albas and was wondering what > everyone uses and how long you have to wait after applying to ride on them

Re: [RBW] Trying to decide on handle bars for my Hunqapillar

I love my Albas on my Hillborne however I would be inclined to put something a bit tougher looking on a hunqapillar. With that in mind I would go bosco bullmoose if it were me. All of the comfort with a bit of a tougher look. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Googl

Re: [RBW] Trying to decide on handle bars for my Hunqapillar

I have bullmoose on my 58 Huqa but this converstion really wants to make me try Albas. I love the Bullmoose looks and the riding position but when riding trails and single track I get terrible numbness in my hands. That's something I've never been able to avoid on any mountain/trail bike. I thou
