Yeah I have large hands too (wink wink) but I think my problem is the original bar tape on those bars was pretty fat to begin with. It was just too much.

Yeah I agree. They're both on there because I did a 40 mile social ride recently and had it on freewheel. I haven't ridden since so I haven't changed it back. Although I still do run the front brake on fixed. I'm not cool enough to ride no brakes no helmet.

Yup I watched afew videos online so I cut some from both ends, top and bottom, so the bar end plugs would fit.
