2. I think there is a simple design fault in the bike. The slots are facing back where they pick up crud from the road... I think it would be fairly simple for Xootr to reverse this and have the slot pointing forwards

Anyway, I remain a happy customer, now that I have some great butterfly bars (from Nashbar) on the bike.
