I have a 2009 Cannondale Hooligan 1



The rest of my gallery is here


I am thinking of changing my bars to some On-One Mary's (or similar) and adding Ergon (or similar) grips.

I am a little worried as to whether there is enough room to fit the grip and the Alfine trigger shifter though, as I have no working knowledge of any of the products other than the shifter. If it were a straight bar I wouldn't be asking.

I am also open to suggestions as to alternatives to the Mary/Ergon combo - and whether or not I should change the stem.

Thanks in advance

I have Ergons on My Brompton the double grip shift version is shortest.
I works with their M bar.

the others are wider.. If you can use a full width grip , now you might be able to use
the standard grip there.. just substitute them on what bars you have already .


got Measurements to use? width of existing grip, how far the bars are before any bends.?/

marys sweep back. more than 7~ 10 degrees, right?
the bar end becomes a Hook to snag on stuff..

I'd stick with GR 1's then.. no bar end.

Dunno specifics on the Alfine shifters, but I ran Marys/Ergons with Shimano MTB triggers and no issues at all. If memory serves, I MAY have trimmed 1/4" off the inner end of the Ergons to get my hand position just right, in relation to the shifter, but it was years ago and memory fades.

not the best answer ... but VSF Fahrradmanufaktur uses a

Santori Horizon 15° bar (which is quite bent, but not at much as the On One bar you show)

an Alfine-11

and Egron GP1s

the whole bike is here:

but you may want to look through the rest of their line to get similar ideas (why not use a belt and ditch the chain?)

i have ergon GC3's, an alfine trigger shifter, hydraulic disc levers, and some profile design aerobars set up on a flat bar that i chopped down about as far as it would go (it's crowded, but it works), so my gut tells me that your proposed set-up on the on one mary's would work just fine.

here's my set-up for reference:

Cheers for the quick responses.

@fietsbob - I don't have the Mary (or the ergon's) yet - which is why I was asking the question. The bar shown in the picture is the stock bar, which is straight with maybe a little rise (I am unsure as to bar nomenclature).

@truman - thats good to know, look like I should probably be OK - how much space was left before the bend?

@acidfast7 - Cheers for the links. Not sure on the Satori, but that VSF Fahrradmanufaktur looks like a sweet ride.

@Steely Dan - Cheers - I forgot to mention my hydraulic levers *doh*, I'm begining to think I might get away with it now.


So what do you think of the Mary Ergon combo - apart from say the Satori's already mentioned, is there anything else I should look at?

That's my setup: Mary, Alfine and Ergons.
I cut the Mary down by 1/2" each side and there is still room for the shifter.

CaptCarrot

@MichaelW - Well that about seals it then.

Unless anyone can suggest a better combo than Mary/Ergon, that is what I will get (when her indoors isn't looking )

MichaelW

V comfortable, easy on the wrists, elbow and shoulders.

That's my setup too, uncut.

One of the guys over on the Hooligan Facebook group has recommended the Ragley Carnegie's - which have less sweep.

Anyone got any views on one over the other? I am torn and while I know it is personal preference, I have no way to try both to find out which I prefer.

ATEOTD, I am after as much comfort as possible.

acidfast7

TBO, why not just go with a dutch bar/bike if you're after comfort?

CaptCarrot

Because I can only afford one bike and I like this one too much - it is fun to ride and nimble too (and I have spent way more on it than I'll ever see back).



yes, I want as much comfort as possible - with my current bike.

Besides, 'er indoors would have something to say about another bike.


I think I'll be going with the Mary's - while both the Mary's and Carnegie's get good reviews, more people mention comfort with the Mary's.

Undecided on the Ergons now. I haven't seen any other manufacturer I like more - which is a good thing. BUT - they do more than one model and I am torn.

Is there any real world noticeable difference in comfort between the GP/GC/GR/GX ranges?

I am particularly drawn to the GP1 S, GP1 SL, GS1 S and the GX1. Suggestions?

I managed to fit my Alfine shifter, Ergon GP1s, AirZound horn, PB light, a mirror, and a cyclometer on my trekking bars.
