Jones sells bars at 660 and 710 mm. Ergons are just fine on the 660 bars
when you put separate levers and shifters in front of the grips. But I
think you're correct in the case of the longer bars.

I think the problem Jones perceives with Ergons (this is a guess) applies to
all 130mm grips: they're not long enough for the Loop design. The idea behind
the long grips is you get the whole use of the bar, not just the ends. I love
Ergons but agree with him that they're limited on his bar,
Yes, it did take me a number of rides with minor adjustments to get the
Ergons positioned in a way that was most comfortable. I spoke with Jeff a
few weeks ago and he is still quite opinioned about the use of grips other
than the type he sells.

Eddie,
Jones probably wrote that long before he became older or perhaps he never
suffered arthritis or carpel tunnel. Ergo grips are a god-send for us older
guys. Even a lot of MTB racers use Ergon and other ergo grips these days.
By the way, ergo bars need to have the flat part angle upward a
I have a tried number of upright bars and now on a set of Jones Loops.
Jones recommends his own normal round rubber/silicone grips and he poo poos
things like Ergons. Gotta say for my old hands and maybe even when they
were younger, the Ergons are a godsend for comfort compared to having the
Been meaning to post an update on this. I went with the Ourys, per
Jeremy's recommendation, because they come pre-grooved. They have 5
grooves, so one can be lined up at the bottom, and the other 4 are nicely
spaced, visually. Also, because they have grooves around, not just
lengthwise, you

These are all good ideas, thanks! I may try the inner tube or cork wrap up
on the curves, but I think the Oury grips are what I'll try first.

I went a different way with my bar end shifters which also gave me more
cushioning. I first wrapped the grip area with an old bike tube, then
covered it with cork tape. Cushy and comfy and fits any set up.
