Nashbar Trekking Handlebars

[ed]

Anyone have any experience with the Nashbar ATB/Treking bars? Do you
need to disconnect all your cables in order to remount grip shifters
and brakes? What can be used to pad the extra length of the bars? I
noticed the bars at detours.us but $125.00 is too much. Is there an
extention for mounting a bag bag?

Thanks

Ed

For my trekking bars I got a long set of foam grips from Grab-On Products
(509-529-9800). The grips are about 18" long. They don't sell them at bike
shops, but Grab-On sold them to me directly. They were a special item
Grab-On made for some customer, and they had a pile of them left over (about
10 months ago when I got mine). The package was labeled "Mountain Cruz" and
also included some standard mtb grips which aren't needed for the trekking
bars.
