That is a great mod. Without bar-end shifters, Midges are too short for my

would have designed them with an extra inch or so on each side, with
engraved markings for the owners to chop them shorter.

I've been experimenting with gloves and hand comfort, and it seems like
unpadded gloves work better for me. For some reason, the padding in most gloves
seems to cause problems for my hands that I don't have when I'm not wearing
gloves.

I use long-fingered unpadded gloves when I mountain bike. The lack of
padding matches well with my Ergon grips. Generally I buy whatever is
on sale at Jenson or Cambria, so I've had Fox, Descente, and Giro.
Here are some inexpensive ones at Jenson currently:

My mileage varies. I think the old WTB bars are perfect, and the Midges are
quite good. I like the flare - that's the best feature of these bars. The
width on the tops is fine for me, but I don't ride on the tops. I don't
like Noodles, so I think that might be a watershed for people.

So, my naive question this week is: why do so many frames bear the scars of
chain suck? I make no boasts about my own riding, none at all, in terms of
distance, longevity, or rigor. but I can't think of more than a couple of
times I've ever thrown a chain. What causes the chain suck?
Chain suck is primarily caused by a combination of chain/chainring wear, filth,
and lack of finesse in one's shifting technique.
