Yes, I've been looking closely at the jones bar (my wife is getting a Jones Spaceframe so we can start exploring more trails together). The adapter requirement seems ugly and complicated though. I think wavie is the way to go. Thanks On Sunday, April 28, 2019 at 10:22:11 PM UTC-4, Joe Bernard

For the kind of mountain biking a Hunqapillar can handle, the Jones Bar is hard to beat. The angle is perfect and the 710 mm version has a ton of hand positions you can use, depending on riding conditions. Also, the Jones bar is the most confidence inspiring bar I've ridden. My Hunqapillar

I concur with Patrick the Deacon about bars with a Wavie-ish sweep for singletracking, I don't think the 'straight back at you' style of Boscos works well there. A Jones Loop is another alternative. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

That fact was what convinced me to use Pitlocks in addition to an Abus mini-U. I figured it would be difficult to get the wheels off and more difficult to sell a bike that had a locked wheel set. On Sunday, April 28, 2019 at 3:42:49 PM UTC-5, Eric Daume wrote: > > I remember when a long lock

I remember when a long lock thread came up earlier, someone pointed out that, with a cordless electric cut off grinder, the difference between a cheap lock and a good lock was the difference between 30 seconds to cut through the lock vs. 60 seconds. Eric On Tue, Apr 23, 2019 at 3:06 PM Cinza
