Title: Favour from people with renthal bars please?
Post by: VladTepes on Wednesday, 27 May 2020, 12:34 PM
Could people who have renthal handlebars, please post some photos of the LHS and RHS of their bars, showing the grips and out to the end of the bar.


I seem to have a shit-ton of handlebar (esp on the LHS) extending oput the end of the grips.
Looks stupid. And I want to improve it somehow.

Thanks in advance :)

Undo the switchgear Mike, you may well be able to take them further out than they are.

Std bars have a hole in them that a small knob under the switchgear goes in to locate correctly on the bars. When folk fit Renthals, they often file down this 'knob' & just do with the clamp force to hold them in the correct position. You may be able to slide them back to where they should be.   

Only take 5 minutes.

@Notty ,under the grips are just the regular grips . Grip puppy's just slide over the top with a bit of washing up liquid as lube. I find the puppy's much better as they spread out my hand giving a more comfortable grip :onya: :riding:
