Hey Bill, the issue is the rear takes a 145mm width rear wheel and almost all Rivendells are 135mm so it wouldn't be a direct replacement on your Clem. https://www.rivbike.com/collections/framesets/products/hubbuhubbuh-tandem On Friday, June 1, 2018 at 12:32:08 PM UTC-7, buixote wrote: > > Hi

It's a different angle and the bar has much longer hand real estate, chopping them off defeats part of the purpose. I've ridden them at RBW and they feel different for sure. Not drastic, but different, buying the bar doesn't mean it's an aesthetic choice. I'd say the longer stem combined with

Low bottom bracket height, extended head tube and quill stem gets the bars to that height in a way more elegant way. And I am 100% for threadless and disc brakes, but the Surly and Hunq are just different. I don't think there's anything similar to the hunqapillar in the entire bike market right
