Large diameter bar ends?!
I have a dream of making something like this:
Casey's Crazy Bar However, the angle of the swept back portion of the bars is too dang wide. So, I've found some older Velo Orange Belleville's, which look like this: VO Belleville Handlebar I've been hunting bar ends large enough to slide down the bars and past the curves. The issue is, these bars are a bit larger in diameter: 23.5mm at the grips. Anybody know of some adjustable bar ends? Or how to diy such a thing? I appreciate all your help in advance!! (I have a bad back and am just getting into bike touring. Still want lots of hands options sans drops!) |
even bored out to 24mm you perhaps wont get a single bolt clamp bar end around the curve.
so you have to make a bar end that has a hinge or a 2 bolt open face plate , so as to open and close without needing to go around that curve. Note I said Make rather than Buy. Perhaps figure 8 bend Trekking bars will do the job, if you lack the shop tools to make your own inventions. |
I was imagining perhaps designing something around some road brake lever clamps. I think a hinge would be even more straightforward, though.
