I have a trekking bar on my current commuter that also has 23 in ETT with 90mm 35 deg riser, and that has worked out really good.
BigSung - thanks for posting your trekking bar info. A dumb question but do they come in different diameters to handle road vs. mountain brake levers? I've never given them enough thought to realize they could work like you have them set up with the mountain controls and Ergons. What brand of bars do you have?
This is how I currently have my Cimarron set up but the bar ends don't have much bar surface to clamp on since I can't slide anything inward anymore. I may now consider a trekking set up.
