Once you go Jones you don’t go back.

I did. I don't get on with them and I'm fairly sure I'm not the only one

I found them horrible on anything other than a Jones.

i found the geoff bars had too much sweep, and actually brought back the numbness that OG bars had alleviated.

https://i.imgur.com/F9nV98F.jpg Nice barends Shafiq :-bd I'm really pleased with the way mine are placed. I found them really comfy with a bit more of an upward angle and a double wrap of tape. Edit: those are actually exactly the same barends I have on my of bars. Nice narrow clamp which helps whe...

thanks Tom.

Anyone want them for postage?

On a slight tangent how are people getting on with on one's geoff loop bars? purely personal opinion but i found the Geoffs had too much back sweep and brought back the numbness problems my OG bars had alleviated. I sometimes find my hands a bit cramped on the grips so am going to try the ritcheys ...

I might be interested in this depending on the date.

:???: yup seen that bit soon after posting... Means its only minimal grams over or under my current carbon Nukeproof Warheads.

Wonder how much they weigh??
http://stoogecycles.co.uk/product/moto-bar/

From that page "Weight – 270 grams."

On one OG bars are a good compromise on cost, I run mine with some barends further in than the levers for a Jones light (of cost and weight) setup. https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/HBOOOG/on ... -handlebar

Looking for the above or another lightish 2.6"-2.8" x 27.5" tyre suitable for the rear of my stooge. Needs to be tubeless compatible too.
Thanks.

Not for me. The 2.8 went straight up with the track pump only. My 3.0 needed the use of an air shot thingy. They are set onto WTB i40 Sraper rims. That's reassuring. My trailblazers went up fine scrapers & further down that review the tester states: "I have a feeling that this was a somewh...

Lazarus, i guess that will be down to the rim tyre combo in the test set up. surly rabit hole + ranger 29+ (tough/fast).
if it's a bugger to fit i'll be off to the compressor at the 24hr garage.

pretty sure i read a review of it - possibly bikepacking.com where the tester failed to set it tubeless and had to take it to a shop who described it as the hardest they had ever done https://bikepacking.com/gear/wtb-ranger-review/ Need a new one and have the trailblazer - ripped so works fine but ...

Is it not meant to be a nightmare to set up tubeless - anyone any experience of doing this ? Depends on tyre and rim fit. i've been really lucky with mavic, wtb and halo rims working well with (new) vittoria, schwalbe + WTB tires. This is what I do: Clean rim with IPA/disc cleaner put Gorilla or Ka...

The newer 2.8 specialized grid range seem nice. Ive got one up front with a 2.5 wtb convict up back and lile em both. Thanks shafiq, but the butcher is a bit portly for me ta. Another vote for the Ranger. thanks, i liked the trailblazers i had for dry packed conditions we had for a fortnight last y...

Kind of reminds me of a Nobby Nic. Nice all rounder.

cheers, i'll shortlist that.

I've been running a 2.25" goma on the back of my stooge during the clag season and am looking for potential summer replacement (wishful thinking).
What recommendations would you give me for a light rear tyre in 2.5" to 2.8"?

Ta.

These are the ones i found when i was researching the same:

Theres also carbon options, mostly without cage mounts, but at a cost ££££

I've got dyneema for my guys at the moment and a lot of knots need modification to work with it. Will get some from the shop and try it out. Ta.

what cord is that Stu?
