Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Terror, do you want to do a kinda "friendship bracelet" kinda braid on your bars?

Would that be NJS certified?

Lots of the higher end mtb grips come with separate plugs which being designed for 25.4 bars work perfectly.
