Brooks leather grips
I didn't know where to post this so I came here. I just got a mean deal on the brooks leather grips at my lbs but now find myself not being able to use them because i can't find any bars to fit them. Off the Brooks website they say fit bars 22.2mm but i can't seem to find any handlebars that size and so now i ask you kind folks if any of you have any experience with them and/or what bars are you riding?

Any bar that isn't a drop bar or bull horns has a grip dimension of 22.2mm. The measurement refers to the grip diameter, not the clamping area, which may be the source of your confusion. 25.4, 26.0 and 31.8 all refer to the clamp area, not the grip area!
Those grips are flippin awesome!
