My bike is a 2017 Kona Rove (stock apart from redshift shockstop suspension post and stem and 32 gatorskins tyres).
I want more options/ comfort in the bars on my commute (50km round trip, much of which is on crappy industrial surfaces), so thinking of buying surly moloko bars. I spend most of the time on the hoods (unless in a head wind) and my palms, neck and shoulders get stiff (... makes me feel my 58 yrs!). I'm hoping the bars will offer some relief.
A couple of questions.

• Do you think the weight of these bars (709 gm) will be a problem? I have no idea how much the stock weigh, but don't really want to add weight to the bike.... Not sure why they don't make them aluminium - strength?
• What are my options for flat bar levers to suit the bike's SRAM Rival 1 gears?
• I wonder whether the moloko will render the stem suspension useless when I'm holding the swept back section, as hands will be level with or behind the headset?

Thanks in advace, Mark
