A natural cork might do the job, or a rubber Velox plug.

I think he means mountain bike style bar ends like these: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31uaJgWGd1L._SL500_AA300_.jpg THe answer is to get a set of Mustache bars and sell me that Bullmoose set. :) Seriously though I think the Mustache bars will provide more positions and you can still use the wood grips.

[RBW] Re: bar ends for woodies?
I don't know of any mass produced woodie bar ends, but they might not be hard to make...get a dowel of comfortable diameter, cut them down to the length you want, miter the end so it ends up at a good angle even with the backsweep on the bullmoose, then think of some kind of attachment. Maybe some kind of hose clamp, or the band from an old pair of (road) brake levers with a bolt going into the wood? You may even be able to do it with some creative lashing...leather cord, or good old twine 'n shellac?

Re: [RBW] Re: bar ends for woodies?
yeah, you are right - M-bars would provide more positions, but i didn't fall in love with them on an XO-1 i had.. and i get at least 2 positions from the bull moose.. but just not a bar-endy one. the mtn-bike bar ends are what i mean - or even the little stubby ovals that bolt on perpendicular, although with the swept back angle either of those might not really work - not sure. best, andrew On May 16, 2010, at 4:26 AM, Johnny Alien wrote: > I think he means mountain bike style bar ends like these: > > http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31uaJgWGd1L._SL500_AA300_.jpg > > THe answer is to get a set of Mustache bars and sell me that Bullmoose > set. :) > > Seriously though I think the Mustache bars will provide more positions > and you can still use the wood grips. > > On May 15, 2:18 pm, Ginz wrote: >> A natural cork might do the job, or a rubber Velox plug. >> >> On May 14, 9:04 pm, andrew hill wrote: >> >>> i've got a Sam with emwoodied bullmoose bars.. thinking some bar-ends might >>> make sense for an upcoming century. it's a mostly flat one, but just for >>> the hand position variation... but i don't want to totally destroy the >>> old-skool woody look.. >> >>> so anyone know of bar ends that are wooden? :) or maybe can suggest >>> something that would aesthetically work well to add a hand position or two, >>> and replace that aged-copper colored plug/cap that come with the woodies? >> >>> cheers, >>> andrew >> >>> -- >>> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >>> "RBW Owners Bunch" group. >>> To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com. >>> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >>> rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >>> For more options, visit this group >>> athttp://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch?hl=en. >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "RBW Owners Bunch" group. >> To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to >> rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. >> For more options, visit this group >> athttp://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch?hl=en. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "RBW Owners Bunch" group. > To post to this group, send email to rbw-owners-bu...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rbw-owners-bunch+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rbw-owners-bunch?hl=en. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

RE: [RBW] Re: bar ends for woodies?
Ritchey makes a bar end for bars with more sweep--the clamps are angled so that they don't stick outward. I had a set on some 17-degree sweep bars I used to run and they worked pretty well. I don't know how much sweep the Bull Moose bars have but from pics it looks like at least that much. They are just basic black barends so no aesthetic match for your woodies. I suppose you could cover them in leather or something... They're not Riv-ish but I have a spare set--contact me off list if you'd like to try them.

Re: [RBW] Re: bar ends for woodies?
hi folks, thanks to Steve for selling me a used pair of bar ends that i could experiment with - i found that the cork grips slip over em pretty well, so i put em toward the center of the bull moose bars and voila - another hand position! :) here is a not-great pic of the cockpit that i snapped at a stoplight on my way in this morning: http://salamander.net/stage/woodandcork.jpg forgive the inexpert trimming job on the cork :) i definitely think and extra 5cm on the bars will help everything "fit" better, but it works pretty darn nicely this way. -andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
