not to offend, and a cool-looking bar, but I get the same hand positions on a moustache bar, and more.

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-WQOEvlLQCg4/Urmq1kAg7BI/AKA/ao_ePqc_sto/s1600/CCpugs_web.jpg I use a Jones bar on my Pugsley and a H-bar (designed by Jeff) on my Big Dummy. Both are fantastic. Jeff is really good at responding to questions and will help you with anything. Shoot him an email. BTW an adapter came with my Jones bar and Jeff has specific recommendations with using them.

Re: [RBW] Re: Hunqapillar and Jones bars set up question(s)
This is my impression as well the M bar and H bar don't seem similar at all. Other than being handlebars. The width and the sweep especially, is what interests. But by no means was any offense taken at the M bar suggestion. Happy holidays all! Christian From my phone.

[RBW] Re: Hunqapillar and Jones bars set up question(s)
I used a Nitto adapter on my tandem also (now sold) and it worked great. I've never found any quill stem that uses a 31.8 clamp. So just get the adapter and a threadless stem. I'm curious about the Jones bars, maybe when I get my 29+ bike I'll try one. ~mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
