Thanks for the tip! I've sold a fair number of handlebars online lately
and they're a pain, first having to custom make a box, then dealing with
shipping rates. Anything that helps - helps!

Hi, Brynnar. I have a set of Ron's Bars that I'm not going to use
(switched over to Choco-moose on my Hunqapillar). Like-new shape, maybe
some marks from clamping, but otherwise perfect. Centering looks good on
them too - the edge of the blue tape in the photos is the center. I'd sell
them
Anyone have one that's not crazy off center and want to sell them (or
trade) let me know.
Thanks,
Brynnar

He, he that was me, the clamp size made me pause on snapping up a set. I
regret not buying them, they were in my cart. I could have just purchased a

Ok, this is really, really embarrassing, but I rechecked my Ortho bars
before packing them up for return, and they are not, definitely NOT as
FUBAR'ed as I had described earlier.
I'm really doubting my sanity here. I remeasured where the bar clamp
section was, checked it over with calipers,
John – Sorry your bars are wack! Yeah, must be a bummer for Crust with a
ton of people saying "When ya gonna get me some more of these bars!" and

Eric, The bar clamp section of my Ortho bars is much more off center than
yours, and I think if I sold them to someone sight unseen, they would be
justifiably PO'd. If I tried to clamp my Ortho bar in a stem, I would be
tightening the stem down on the section transitioning from the 25.4mm
Hey JP - I think photographing with a *severe cross-chain* looks cool, in a
silly, laughing-in-the-face-of-danger-but-not-really sort of way. And I
know you're not *supposed* to, but I sometimes (read: frequently) ride with
the chain crossed like that anyway, so long as the chain clears the

That’s odd. I didn’t notice anything off with mine, but now I’m curious and

Hi, JP. Yep - my Hunq has a triple crankset with the outer ring replaced

I received my Ortho bars only to discover the bars are not symmetrical.
Both the structural 25.4mm bar clamp section and the roughened grip section
for the bar clamp are closer to the right hand side of the bars, and
neither is lined up with each other. I could live with the roughened

@John Phillips: Regarding availability it seems that a number of the
manufacturing problems we're seeing everywhere have collided for Crust as
well.
They made a pretty small order before the bike boom, couldn't predict the
demand, only half their order arrived (~90 bars), the order was very
Thanks John, maybe Ronny Romance just has a huge stack of 26mm clamp stems
from the 1990s in his parts stash :-)
I bought a used Clem H in April 2021 and built it with a set of steel

I tried out a 120mm Technomic Deluxe and a 120mm Pearl for initial fit,
and I liked the little bit of extra reach the Pearl gives me. A Nitto Pearl
stem sunk all the way down in my Hunqapillar's short head tube still puts
these bars about 8 cm's above my saddle.
For some reason,
Someone asked the same thing on one of his instagram posts. His response:

Maybe he has some 26mm clamp stems in production to accompany the next

Does anyone know why they went for a 26mm clamp rather than 25.4mm? It
seems like there's much more choice
in 25.4mm stems (either ahead or quill). 25.4mm would go nicely with a
Nitto V-4 or V-5, then there's much less worry about slipping.

I've been trying to find a 130mm Technomic deluxe with a 190mm quill, but
it looks like I'll have to use a 120mm Nitto Pearl until I do. I don't need
them too high, so fingers crossed.

Sadly mine are in the shed too, and have not yet seen any use. I attached
