[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

I ordered a Jones Loop and also installed a Nitto UI-12 stem with a 60mm reach and love it! Cables now need to be shortened, and grips added, but man it really transformed the Clem from a toodler to a more performance oriented, but still very comfortable machine. Pictures here: https://photos

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

I tried 2.5 Loop my Appa for two weeks and then gave it up. Now I have Bosco and quite happy with it. In the past I've tried ChocoMoose, Alba and a few other alt bars. I'd have enjoyed Jones if my peddling effort were to be heavier. My ride is 60% with slightly extra effort, 30% completely re

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

I have found 31.8 bars to slip less at same torque values than 26 or 25.4. Maybe a function or greater surface area being clamped? While I don't care much about the stiffness gains, less slipping is welcome. For extra bad cases some friction paste usually sold for carbon bits helps. Clayton Sco

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

I got the 90mm but am rethinking that maybe 80mm may have been the better choice. I haven't had any issues with the 2 bolts or the stem flexing but have only tested it on a short singletrack and off road loop this weekend. I supposed the 4 bolt Nitto quill 31.8 is more secure but it's much short

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

Cool, Irging! What length reach did you get? Have you had it long enough to experience or speculate if the 2 bolts are sufficient to lock those bars down during rougher riding? On Monday, February 5, 2018 at 12:47:08 PM UTC-5, Irving wrote: > > I put on the VO quill stem (get the nickel! it's

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

Yep, true. The shortest reach/extension offered on the Nitto UI-12 is a 60, and from there they go up by 10mm increments to a 120. The column is only 140mm tall, so you'd have to want the bars sorta low. On Sunday, February 4, 2018 at 12:49:49 PM UTC-5, Joe Bernard wrote: > > Yes, those quill

Re: [RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

This must be an “all-rounder” bar for me. No single track anymore, but anything else is fair game. My noodles have sufficed for everything so far, but I’m looking at options. I like the out on the hoods position for longer rides, and try to change hand placement often even though I currently have

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

Yes, those quill open-clamp designs will work if you can find one short enough. Jones Bikes are designed to work with that bar on a shorty stem, and my Clem L had the same cockpit parameters. The only way I was getting a 40cm stem was to go threadless. -- You received this message because you

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

Agree, Joe. The Jones Loop H-Bar's beauty (well, some say it's ugly) is the number of realistic and comfortable hand positions ... while giving very confident control on or off road. I also like the convenience that the Jones H-Bar Pack

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

Rusty, it depends on what kind of riding you'll be doing. Albatross is a nice city bar for cruising, but you better like the upright position near the ends 'cause that's realistically the only one available. I've used them a bunch and like them, but I don't recommend going on a long, wind-blown

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

Joe, I was thinking about the Jones for the upcoming Atlantis build. What do you think of that, versus the Albatross? On Saturday, February 3, 2018 at 1:07:01 PM UTC-5, Joe Bernard wrote: > > I had the riser 2.5 Loop (660mm) on my Clem L and really liked it. Clems > have long (virtual) toptubes

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

I had the Jones on my Appaloosa and loved it. When I bought a Clem L, I moved the bar to that bike and put a Noodle bar on the Joe, but I’m a tinkerer, so I’ll probably go back one of these days. Jay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunc

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

The Surly may be similar to the original Jones, but not the current Loop. Loop has hand positions near the stem and far forward, as well as the standard grip position on the ends. There's any number of cheaper bars out there if you just want the ends position. -- You received this message bec

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

Alternatively, you might consider a much cheaper option to try the Surly Open Bar ( https://surlybikes.com/parts/handlebars/open_bar ) I installed one on my Clem and really like it. It's very similar to the original Jones bar in sweep angle and length but with 25.4 clamp diameter. I conside

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

Thanks all! Sweet bikes. Got a grilver 59 clem h today and can't wait to play around with diff bars. The VO threadless stem adapter + stem with removable faceplate is a smart-lookin solution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch"

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

Ah. Perfect. I knew there had to be something like that out there somewhere but, until now, was too lazy to track it down. I'll shoot VO an order in the morning. Many thanks, Kevin Lindsey Alexandria, VA On Saturday, February 3, 2018 at 7:00:14 PM UTC-5, Jeremy Till wrote: > > Velo orange now

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

Velo orange now makes a quill stem with a 31.8mmm bar clamp and a removable faceplate. That is what I used to mount the Loop bars on my Clem. As Joe said, the other way to do it would be a threadless stem on a quill to threadless adapter. -- You received this message because you are subscribed

Kevin, if you zoom in on my Clem you can see that black threadless stem (I know it's ugly, I replaced with a nice shiney Thomson) mounted on top of a Velo-Orange quill adapter. It's this thing: https://velo-orange.com/products/vo-threadless-stem-adaptor -- You received this message because you

[RBW] Re: Jones Bar on a Clem H, Appaloosa, or Yves Gomez?

I've been looking at the Loop for my Hunqapillar, but can't figure out how to get it onto a quill stem. I'm assuming you can't do that for a Loop, but how did you guys replace your stems with threadless ones? Thanks, Kevin Lindsey Alexandria, VA On Saturday, February 3, 2018 at 1:07:01 PM UTC
