Cool, looks like you did a great job on it. Did you follow a pattern? I 
made a stem bag using the bikepacking.com pattern – went well. Been 
contemplating the next project...

 I agree though, these ergons are definitely the most comfy grip I've 
 found, but their color selection is limited, so this is a good way to get 
 the grips but in a more preferential color.

No derail! The forward position has shellac but the ergon grips do not, I 
think they're a lot softer without shellac and don't mind reapplying every 
now and then. 

I agree though, these ergons are definitely the most comfy grip I've found, 
but their color selection is limited, so this is a good way to get the 
grips but in a more preferential color.

I don't want to derail this thread but I'm really into your Newbaums'd 
GA-3s, too! I recently tried Newbaums on some cheap Soma grips and it 
turned out pretty good with three coats of shellac helping to hold it all

inspired me to try wrapping them.

[Nick Shoemaker]

Love your build, Ben! (probably because it reminds me a bit of my blue Clem 
trail bike...) Any tips on the Newbaums-over-Ergons treatment? I love my 
Ergons for their, uh, ergonomics, but yours look so much nicer with the 
tape on top! Shellac, or no?

[RBW] Re: Susie Build

[Ben Hannon]

Thanks everyone!

Regarding the cliffhangers, these are set up tubed, but I do have a pair in 
26 that have been tubeless for over a year without issues.

Grips are ergon ga-3s wrapped in newbaums, correct. No issues with the 26.0 
in 25.4. I think the argument could be made that it's less likely to slip, 
but I haven't tested it on too rugged of trails yet.
