We went for a very short ride as the wind is vicious and gusty.

He thinks he may be happy with the bars but won't know until a longer ride. He likes the shifters. And, there is nothing like shiny new shifters and brake levers for ease of operation.

The only issue we had was one he had complained about before the bar switch. Sometimes the chain would jam when shifting gears. I thought that the front derailleur might be a hair too low even though it passed the "penny" test. I raised it up about another half a penny width and the chain grab disappeared. He does have one habit which I think contributes to this issue, he has a tendency to pause pedaling when he shifts. This means that the chain can end up rubbing as it does not smartly move up or down the rings. Am I right?
