[image: sam.JPG] I have them on my Sam and Hunq. I tried some bolt on leather grips but have since switched to Riv cork on both. VO leather wrap on the rest of the bar (The "city bike" grip is long enough). I've also used Dia Compe "stoker" knobs as a midpoint grip and interrupter levers

I love my Ergons. They made the bar usable. I tried them before with cork grips and standard ESI grips and it just didn't gel. On Thursday, February 21, 2019 at 5:29:07 PM UTC-8, masmojo wrote: > > Me & the Boscos never bonded, but what I dig on my Albatross and other > similar bars is BMX
